Key stage 1 & 2

Come and explore the current exhibition – Ammeth

Ammeth is the Cornish word for farming, which is one of Cornwall’s most important industries. Over 70% of the land in the county is farmed and this has shaped much of the landscape that we see today. The relationship between farming and the land has been a continuing source of inspiration for local artists and this exhibition explores how these artists have responded, past and present.

Come to the gallery, have a Look around at the art work’s on display, discuss what we see and then make our own artwork drawing from themes in the exhibition.

Printmaking

We are very lucky at Falmouth Art Gallery to have a large print collection. Come and explore the art of printmaking and try your hand at press-printing, mono-prints, repeat pattern printing. The possibilities and inspiration are endless and we can link to most themes, so please get in touch to discuss booking a workshop! The workshop will be adapted according to age and ability.

Henri Matisse

Using colour and organic forms we can create wonderful art works inspired by great artists such as Matisse and Grace Gardener. These workshops are playful and fun, developing an understanding of the power of colour to influence mood and play with perception.
