Tudor portraits and Tudor Patterns

Posted by Sian Lile on 12 April 2010

We have been busy making Tudor patterns and Tudor portraits! The plan was that visitors could paint a tudor portrait in the Church and a frame for their portrait in Oriel 1. As the portraits were a little bit tricky to make the activity was suitable for ages 7 and up, but littler ones could still get to work on those patterns!

So here are some frames ready for a portrait to be placed inside them...

Lots of you made some beautiful patterns inspired by the murals in the church....

...and then there were a couple that perhaps weren't so tudor inspired but were wonderful nonetheless.
