Arty Afternoons: Victorian Silhouettes

7 February 2026
drop in anytime between 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm.
Free to all

Try making your own Victorian-style silhouette artwork.

Many of the portraits in the current exhibition were painted during or around the Victorian Era. Try making your own Victorian-style silhouette artwork. You could base it on one of the portraits in the gallery or imagine a scene from Newlyn about 100 years ago — perhaps fishwives selling their catch or fishermen setting out to sea.

FREE family activities take place every Saturday; drop in anytime between 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm.
