Little ArtLab invites young children and their carers to dive into a world of creativity inspired by the fascinating history of Pompeii. This hands-on workshop encourages little ones to explore their imagination through art, capturing memories and messages to the future in beautifully decorated jars.
In this engaging session, children aged 3 to 5 will experiment with drawing, tracing, writing, sculpting, and collecting to create their own memory jars. Inspired by the ancient city of Pompeii, kids will think about their hopes, dreams, and favourite stories, preserving these moments in a unique keepsake. Parents and carers are encouraged to join in the fun, making it a shared experience.
The workshop runs for one hour, providing plenty of time for creative expression and exploration. Children must be accompanied by an adult or carer at all times to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
