Sculpture in the Park

Construct your own sculpture to take home after exploring our exciting new sculpture in the park at Compton Verney. Take a closer look with our Learning Team and discover new ways of observing, questioning, and investigating sculpture. Learn about form, shape, size, and perspective and be inspired by the work of internationally acclaimed artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Perminduar Kaur.

Folk and Function

Join us at Compton Verney for our STEAM-based workshop where you’ll explore the wonders and curiosities of our folk-art collection. Handle some of the collection pieces, learn about movement and mechanisms and discover how to create for function, tradition and wellbeing.

Printmaking 

An exciting and informative day of learning! Pupils visit our inspirational collections, including the Marx-Lambert gallery to explore the print works of prodigious designer and artist Enid Marx. They will spend time in the Folk Art Collection where they will look at works by contemporary printmaker and artist Mark Hearld. They sketch and gather ideas for their own creations before embarking on the process of designing and printing their own work.

CHILA KUMARI SINGH BURMAN

Then you can create your own mixed media art using a variety of neon and light-sensitive paints.
