Silhouette Portraits were a became very popular in Victorian times as a way to create a quick, affordable portrait of a loved one. These silhouettes, also known as shadow portraits, were created by cutting a profile of a person’s head and shoulders out of black paper. Come and have a go at creating your own little portrait and creating your own fantastic frame to put it in.
This is the perfect holiday activity for little hands to get stuck in to whilst learning a little bit of what life was like in Victorian times. The session is free with an annual pass to the museum or £2 per child if you just want to drop-in for this individual session.
This craft activity will be held on 13th August. The morning session will run 10:30am-12:30pm and the afternoon session will run 1pm-3:00pm. There is no need to book – just come along and get making!
This is one of the many fun and creative activities included in the price of your annual pass across our three museums. Make sure you check our ‘Things To Do’ page to see what we have coming up.
Please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult. We suggest that this activity is suitable for children 4+ but please be aware that younger children will need help with tasks such as cutting out.
This Activity is at the Workhouse Museum.
