Each session, aimed at 11-25 year olds, introduces an archaeological discovery, and provides different materials (clay, paint, fabric, natural resources etc) to encourage participants to experiment and produce a creative response. The emphasis is on experimentation and fun, in a nurturing, non-medical, environment.

These sessions are free, and open to young people aged 11-16 years old who are registered with a Totton GP. Book your place now!
