West Midlands Museum Development is bringing together an exciting day of creative and practical workshops exploring affordable opportunities to refresh exhibition interpretation and engage with a wider range of audiences at Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust, Coalbrookdale TF8 7DQ, 10am – 4pm.
Fab Lab in Ironbridge is an open resource which allows users to design and create using a variety of equipment including laser cutters, 3D printers and vinyl cutters. The Fab Lab team will demonstrate how the equipment can be used to create simple museum interactives and interpretation. Participants will complete a practical activity and come away with a finished item.

Becki Morris, Collections Assistant for Heritage and Culture Warwickshire and representative for Disability Cooperative Network (DCN) will lead a practical workshop supporting delegates to understand what neurodiversity is and identify potential social barriers individuals may encounter when visiting museums. The session will explore opportunities for low cost inclusive practice.
Author of ‘The Children’s History of Birmingham’ Mandy Ross has a wealth of experience in writing for children and young people. Mandy will guide participants through the process of drawing out captivating stories from collections and spaces to create engaging interpretation for younger visitors.
