Emotion in Action – Children’s Sculpture Workshop with Helen Duncan (ages 11-14)

Phelim Hoey, Therbligs, 2022, wood and aluminium

Join us at Abbey Road Artists’ Studios for a creative, hands-on sculpture workshop inspired by the exhibition Affective Forms, facilitated by Abbey Road Artist in Residence Helen Duncan.

Participants will explore new ways of thinking about the human body — not as something perfect or posed, but as something that can show movement, feeling, and personality. Using mixed materials and simple sculpting techniques, they will shape and build their own forms while discovering how changes in shape, balance, and space can express ideas and emotions.

Booking essential. Limited places available. Suitable for ages 11- 14.

Affective Forms will continue to 12 April 2026 and will be accompanied by an outreach  programme of activities.
