"I have been attending the childrens workshops at the Design Museum with my daughter for more than 4 years. I cannot praise the Design Museum highly enough for providing this kind of creative activity for children of this age group. It is by far the best children's workshop on offer in London. It stands far above all the other major museums for its provision of quality of materials, the fact that it has a new theme every month, and the Design Museum Education staff who are excellent in assisting the children in realising their ideas into finished pieces of work.

My daughter always leaves the workshops full of inspiration and often takes extra materials with her to continue at home, as there never seems to be enough time to produce all the ideas she has during the workshop!

As a Senior lecturer at Central Saint Martins, I believe that it is very important for children to participate in as much art and design as possible, as they do not always have enough access to this in their school curriculum. I strongly support this calibre of creative practice and hope it will long continue."
