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
