Sunday Family Drop-in Workshop: Pocket Portraits

Join us for a free drop-in workshop in the Gallery's magnificent Shaw Room with artist Olga Vnukova.

Long before smartphone selfies, people carried miniature painted portraits of loved ones in their pockets. Explore the delicate portrait miniatures featured in our exhibition Rembrandt to Matisse: Celebrating European Works on Paper and design your own mini masterpiece . Experiment with frames and paper to capture yourself, a family member or a friend. 

Sunday Family Drop-in is a weekly inclusive, accessible, intergenerational workshop. Devised to support creative engagement for children of all ages and abilities, these sessions are led by an invited artist and supported by the Education Team.  

All materials are provided, support is available in English or as Gaeilge, but as activities are rooted in creative expression, with visual cues, models and examples, children of all nationalities can participate fully. 

• Free, no booking required. Stay for as long (or as little) as you like.
• Families with children of all ages welcome.
• All materials provided.
• Languages spoken: Irish and English.
