Between 10am and 12.30pm every Friday morning, you’re invited to drop into our ‘creative space’ and make something inspired by the museum collection.
Our creative sessions are free and open to all. Join us to make and create together and contribute to our growing museum! The sessions will be led by artists, makers and writers, all influenced by this unique museum.

Friday 18 October – What is the role of keys?

Are keys for locking away? Are they for power, or protection? Are they to keep danger away?

Our museum is full of doors and keys, that have been used in many different ways in many different places. Join artist Hannah Sawtell to create a piece of art inspired by the keys.

Friday 25 October and Friday 1 November – Reimagine the museum in Lego 

Throughout October the National Justice Museum will be displaying a magnificent life-sized statue of a suffragette- made entirely of Lego.

To celebrate this event, join us to meet the museum objects and create Lego versions. We’ll share photographs of your creations in our project lab.

Friday 8 November – Washing, Singing and Dancing collage

Help us prepare our latest exhibition, showing fascinating photographs of women’s lives in prison.

How might we see everyday life in a new way when living behind bars? Join our artists to make a collage of images.
