Wellness Weekends: Open Studio Craft and Slow Looking at South Shields Museum
Free Saturday wellbeing and craft sessions inspired by Pierre Mignard's National Gallery portrait, with a drop-in fan-making craft for families.
About This Event
South Shields Museum's Wellness Weekends celebrate the loan of Pierre Mignard's The Marquise de Seignelay (1691) through the National Gallery Masterpiece Tour. This Saturday's drop-in Open Studio craft session (11.30am to 3pm in the learning room) is Fan Fare, making a fan from card and lolly sticks, and children and adults are welcome with no booking needed. Earlier in the morning there is a free 30-minute Slow Looking session at 10.20am, a guided, mindful look at the painting followed by sensory activities, limited to ten people and bookable in advance. A separate free qigong class runs at 9.30am.
