Workshop
60 minutes
Ages 5+
£5 per kit (add-on to admission)

Join us for a fun and hands-on Gromit model-making session.

You’ll be able to get creative with clay and make your very own Gromit to take home with you.

Illustrative purposes only; only the Gromit model will be available in the workshop

During our summer launch weekend, the model-making sessions on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July will be run by an expert model maker who has worked on some of Aardman’s best-loved productions. They have lots of great anecdotes and insights into the wonderful world of Aardman to share too.

All claystation workshops from Monday 21 July onwards will then be delivered by specially-trained Techniquest team members.

We’ll also be screening the Wallace & Gromit Cracking Contraptions short films throughout the workshop. So you can chuckle away at Wallace’s wonderfully eccentric ideas while you get crafty!

Meet & Greet: Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 July only

Are you the ultimate Wallace & Gromit fan? Then book for the opening weekend, when the duo will be making some special appearances!

The Gromit Model-Making Workshops will also be led by an expert model maker who has worked on some of Aardman’s best loved productions (advanced booking advised).

Please note that filming and photography will be taking place throughout Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July.
