Get matched →Summer Makers returns over the school summer holidays by popular demand. Join workshops in the Learning Studios to make a giant collaborative sculpture inspired by Moore's own works on site. The sculpture will be made directly from the winning design of the Growing Moore & Summer Makers Sculpture Competition, chosen earlier this year and announced via social media.
Come back Saturday 29 – Monday 31 August to celebrate the finished collaborative sculpture. Pose your home-made figure inside the larger sculpture for a great photo op, just like Moore's Internal/External Form sculptures!
Entry is included in an annual ticket. This event is drop-in, so there is no need to book. If you do not have an annual ticket, you can buy one online or from the ticket desk when you arrive. An annual ticket lets you return to Studios & Gardens as often as you like during open season for 12 calendar months.
Children must be accompanied by adults to ensure safe use of materials. Sessions are suggested for ages 4+, however younger visitors may also take part at their guardians' discretion. Activities can be altered based on the needs of the participant.
You might get messy in these sessions, so please do not wear your best clothes. Sturdy footwear is recommended. Some sessions are expected to take place outdoors, so please pack hats, sunscreen, and plenty of fluids for hot weather days.
The winner of The Summer Makers Sculpture Design competition will receive a special prize upon completion of the collaborative sculpture.
