SculptED: What is Sculpture? Session for children educated outside school

These sessions are designed with sculpture at their heart. We’ll engage critically with artworks by looking, thinking, asking questions and sharing opinions, then get hands-on with some 3D themed making activities.

Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Art Gallery are collaborating to run SculptED, a pilot series of workshops. We are able to offer the first three sessions for free, as part of our research and development of this offer. From September 2026 there will be a charge per session.

These workshops are more than art classes – they’re spaces for curiosity, creativity, and conversation. Gain new skills, meet like-minded peers, and explore how sculpture connects to the world around you.

Young people aged 5-12 who are currently educated outside of school and looking for an inspiring way to learn.

This is the first in a series of three workshops. Families are encouraged to attend all three but this is not essential. The following sessions are:
