Piecing Together the Past

Join us to celebrate Heritage Open Days by creating your very own mosiac tile to take home with you. We will take inspiration from the everyday life of Ellen Heaton. Ellen was a renowned philanthropist who used to live in one of the houses in which Swarthmore now occupies.
There will be a number of designs which you can choose and then you will be guided in how to create this using the tiles which will form your mosaic. For yonger children, there will be a variety of soft materials to use to create the mosaics. For older children, tiles will be available - the accompianing adult will chose the appripriate materal.

PLEASE NOTE - children must be 5yrs and over and must be accompanied by 1 adult.
Due to space constraints, we can only accomodate 1 child and 1 adult per ticket.

Accessibility details

Please note that Swarthmore is a heritage building and has some uneven floors and slightly narrow doorways. If you would like to visit before the workshop to ensure you can comfortably get around, don't hesitate to get in touch to arrange a visit. I would recommend securing your ticket beforehand, just to ensure the spaces don't get snapped up.
