Workshop Summary
Food and drink is the mouth-watering theme for South Shields Museum’s latest exhibition. The exhibition charts the story of food and drink across South Tyneside and celebrates the traditional cuisine of the North East, from regional favourites such as stottie cakes and leek pudding, to singing hinnies and panaculty.
In this workshop, children can discover South Tyneside’s evolving food and drink story, from Roman times up to the present day, to the influence different cultures had on local food, and learn of the origins of some of the borough’s most iconic eateries. Children will explore the exhibition through games and discussion and discover the various forms of decoration and design that accompany food related products.
The second half of the workshop will be in the art studio where children can use their knowledge to create printmaking stamps to decorate their very own recipe book.
