Family Fun at Leighton House: Pattern & Picture, Family Collage Inspired by Leighton House, with Maliheh Zafarnezhad

<p>Join artist Maliheh Zafarnezhad for a hands-on family workshop inspired by the rich visual heritage of Leighton House. Designed for children aged 5–10 and their adults, this workshop invites families to create layered mixed media collages using photocopies of historical photographs, architectural details from the house, tile patterns from the Arab Hall, and Persian carpet designs from the collection. While children explore storytelling through texture, shape, and colour, adults will gain insights into creative collage techniques and how to engage with cultural collections in new ways. A joyful opportunity for families to make art together, blending history, pattern, and imagination into personal artworks to take home. All are welcome—no art experience needed!<br />
To coincide with an exhibition of contemporary digital art by artists from the Middle East and North Africa</p>
