Family Saturday
with Michael Kennedy
Inspired by Donald Locke’s work and life, families can work with artist Michael Kennedy to produce a new folk spirit. Produce spirits with character design skills, bright coloured papers, cards and cutting and sticking tools. Place in historical images from Kennedy’s personal archives to add historical context to your creation whilst embodying the creativity of Donald Locke’s artworks.
