Ever wondered how to keep your silver shining or how to mount a picture? Join us at The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre as we build a community of makers and menders!
This is a monthly club for all generations to come together, share skills and learn more about museum conservation and collections.
Our fantastic facilitators will lead the sessions, showcasing a new specific skill or technique which could be used to look after your own objects at home.
Come and meet like-minded peers in a friendly environment, work on exciting team and individual projects, and learn new skills from each other.
Workshops last for 90 minutes and feature activities and demonstrations. Refreshments are included.
