Roman Clay Creations: Festival of Archaeology 2026

Family friendly workshops: Create a personal offering inspired by the ancient world! Learn about Roman beliefs and traditions in this thoughtful, hands-on workshop exploring votive offerings – objects given to the gods as symbols of hope, gratitude, or healing. You’ll then be guided in sculpting your own meaningful clay piece, inspired by authentic Roman examples and their stories – including one of our favourite Roman archaeological finds from Stanwick Lakes, a copper alloy frog! Led by sculptor and artist Lisa Lovett of Earthly Art Studio as part of the Festival of Archaeology at Stanwick Lakes. Each workshop activity has suggested age ranges provided, however, we accept parent/guardian discretion. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

Summer Art Club: Flower Meadows

Summer Art Club: Flower Meadows A new Summer Art Club session for children aged 7–12 years inspired by the colours, shapes and textures of flower meadows. In this session, children will design and build their own richly textured meadow scene, exploring layering, pattern, collage and colour. Using simple circular forms as a starting point, they’ll develop a lively composition full of detail and movement, while gaining confidence working with different materials and techniques. The focus is on experimentation, creative decision-making and enjoying the process of making artwork from start to finish. The session is led by professional artist Emma, who brings extensive experience in both fine art and education. After completing a Fine Art and Art History degree at Newcastle University, Emma has worked in heritage and learning environments alongside her own creative practice in painting, drawing and printmaking. Her work has been published in art books and guides, and exhibited at venues including Covent Garden in London and the Hatton Gallery in Newcastle. She now focuses on delivering engaging art workshops for adults and children, encouraging creativity and confidence in a supportive setting. All materials are provided. Parking is included in the ticket price. Each workshop activity has suggested age ranges provided, however, we accept parent/guardian discretion. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
