Enchanted Objects: Amulet Making Workshop

Join us for a creative workshop led by artist Dinah Kelly exploring amulets and talismans, and create your own unique amulet filled with personal meaning.

This workshop coincides with the Oriental Museum’s current exhibition Enchanted Objects: Adornment and Personal Protection from Amulets to the Mobile Phone, a presentation of Dinah Kelly’s striking hand-made talismanic shirts and protective jewellery. Woven through the Silk Roads gallery these works are displayed alongside historic objects from the collection and Dinah’s sketchbooks and drawings.

Dinah will introduce her artistic practice and there will be opportunities to view the exhibition, sketch in the galleries and then create an amulet.

All materials provided. No experience necessary.

This workshop is suitable for over 16s only.

FREE of charge, bookings essential.
