About
A richly illustrated story told by Antony Penrose beginning with his childhood on a Sussex farm where an unusual artist friend of his parents came to stay. Pablo Picasso and Antony became instant friends, visiting the animals on the farm and inventing their own games. Things got out of hand and Antony bit Picasso who bit him right back but that did not spoil the friendship. They met again on the many visits Antony and his family made to Picasso’s homes in the South of France.
Join Antony for a light hearted meeting with Picasso, his pets and a visit to his house and studio filled with art treasures.
Antony will entertain participating children for 20 minutes followed by a supervised creative session in the Studio with gallery staff.
This workshop is suitable for 7-12 year olds. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Antony’s books Miro’s Magic Animals and The Boy Who Bit Picasso will be available to purchase in the gallery shop.
