School Workshops

Artist Catrin Huber and Hatton Gallery's Educational Officer Hazel Barron-Cooper lead Expanded Interiors Re-Staged workshops in rural and urban primary schools near Hadrian's Wall.

These schools were approached because of their proximity to Hadrian’s Wall to encourage their pupils to see the connections between the Romans in Britain and in Italy, to connect the original research with the local heritage context of the North-East, while facilitating links between contemporary life and Roman culture.

An artist presentation and virtual guide through the exhibition was followed by hands-on design activity, working with shoe boxes, fabric, coloured paper, and collage to design wall decorations for participants’ homes.
