Luscious Leaf printing weekend

Do your children/grandchildren love a bit of messy art? If so, they will love the Luscious Leaf printing weekend at Sutton Hoo.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Use the natural treasures of Sutton Hoo to create print-based artwork such as leaf prints and leaf silhouette paintings in our messy paint 'n' print weekend.

This workshop will take place in the stables led by our fantastic team of art volunteers and is free with site admission. Sessions will run from 11am - 3pm. Simply turn up and print when there is space for you at these times.

Do please remember that this is messy art; aprons will be provided, and we will be using water-based paints, but old clothes are strongly advised for this fun event.
