Explore plant forms, imagining and constructing your own hybrid creations using all kinds of scrap materials.
Re-invent works from the galleries or let your imagination run wild and design completely new extraordinary structures as a family, experimenting with shape, form and texture. Either take your constructions home or transform our spectacular garden landscape. This family drop-in will be led by a member of our friendly Learning and Engagement Team.

Connect with art through nature and play. This August families are taking over the Barber Institute for our second free Family Festival!
Come along to a drop-in session in our outdoor area, explore the building and galleries equipped with resources available in the foyer, including our Art Trolley. Help us re-imagine our spaces and enjoy open-ended creativity and discovery this summer, all inspired by our current exhibition Hidden Lives of Plants: Botanical Illustrations from the V&A.
