Join us for an open-ended, playful workshop led by Sarah Marsh, the artist behind acclaimed The Sensory Toolkit. It is suitable for children from 4-10 and their families/carers. We encourage families and carers to participate together.

Participants will:

- Fold, cut, and connect paper to create dragon-inspired sculptural forms.

- Play with colour and texture by adding fun, specially-selected materials to your artwork.

- Experiment with movement, light and shadow in our esea Studio.

In a specially constructed 'theatre wall,' wide tracing paper and translucent fabric will be suspended, allowing light to cast through and create a captivating space for families to experiment with shadow play. Children and their families can watch as their shadow puppets change in size, exploring the textural qualities of fabrics and trying out simple colour-mixing techniques.

This event is free, registration essential to avoid disappointment. Please book a place for all family/group members who will be in attendance.

Please consider making a donation for free events. esea contemporary is a registered charity and your support will contribute to our mission of creating a more equal, diverse, and inclusive environment for both local and global audiences.

Caption

The Sensory Toolkit by Sarah Marsh is a developing collection of objects, ideas and environments that invite touch and interaction, and are thoughtfully designed and curated to be sensory-soothing. The sensory focus in this workshop is the feel of materials used, the way our paper sculptures move, and the shadows we can cast through light and colourful repurposed acetates. Find out more about Sarah and her work here.

This free workshop offers opportunities for all ages to participate, creating a fun and inclusive experience for families.

Please note that during this workshop, the studio will be dark or dimly-lit at times. Children must be supervised at all times and parents/carers are responsible for ensuring safe use of any equipment including scissors or cutting implements.
