Between May 16 and July 12, Pera Education will organise the 'Yesterday Inspires Today' education programme as part of Grayson Perry: Small Differences exhibition one of the most unconventional and iconic names of contemporary art. 
As part of the 'Yesterday Inspires Today' education program designed for age groups 4-6 and 7-14, participants will first visit the exhibition with their instructors, and then participate in different projects using various media and techniques at the workshop.

Based on Grayson Perry’s freely painted ceramic vases in the Grayson Perry "Small Differences” exhibition, the workshop allows participants to create their memorabilia by using underglaze paint on ceramic vases. After the illustrations are applied to the biscuit vases, they are glazed and kiln-fired.
Their works will be given to participants a few days after the workshop.
Instructor: Cansu Sakız
