Tom’s Tuesday – Shapes and Silhouettes

April 15, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

Join us for a fun-filled Tom’s Tuesday event where your family gets creative with the magic of silhouettes!

Once a popular way to tell stories in Thomas Gainsborough’s time, this craft transforms simple cut-out shapes into playful, backlit tales using light and shadow.

Let your child’s imagination lead the way, cutting shapes, creating stories, and enjoying a hands-on session that brings history to life in a whole new way. Come along to learn some new skills as a family.

Adults will be working together with their children, no previous experience necessary, just come along and join in!

  • 10am – 12pm
