Young people in Thetford aged 12-25 can try out their art skills for free with Norfolk artist Mary Blue and Kick the Dust youth engagement initiative.
Hands on art sessions will focus on the museum’s exciting new portrait of Princess Catherine Duleep Singh by artist Amandeep Singh aka Inkquisitive and Cheryl Roach’s new depiction of Black Abolitionist, Moses Roper.
Participants will find out about Moses Roper. Consider the life of Princess Catherine and discover how imagery is used in her portrait, and others in the collection, to tell the story of each sitter.
Inspired by these paintings and working with artist Mary Blue, the young people will then experiment with different painting techniques and imagery to create a story-portrait of their own. All materials included
