Family Activity: Split Pin Puppet Making

They say you should never meet your heroes, so why not draw them instead? Have a go at drawing yours in this hands-on creative session. 

Taking inspiration from local artist Tommy Hibberd’s sporting illustrations at the museum, we’ll be recreating the people we admire for their great achievements through split pins and puppetry. Come and draw your favourite icon and share who you’ve chosen and why.

Everything we do is made possible by you – please donate £3 to help tell stories that connect people with their history, the world around them and each other
