We See, The Sea
Workshops // Until 9 August
It’s the final week of We See, The Sea. Two weeks of free arts based activities for children, young people and families.
So far we’ve had Creative Waves create a wonderful under the sea installation in the gallery windows, Project Happiness have created some large scale collective drawings. and we’ve had some cyanotypes created from items found on the beach in Nina Garstang’s workshop.
We’ve had sea creatures made from recycled art, some textile monoprinting, and sea creatures embellished onto old clothing and the best part is there’s still a week to go!
