About this event

Join us for a thoughtful, imaginative workshop with artist Serafina Min.

We’ll begin with a hands-on tour of Beyond the Visual, our current exhibition featuring blind and partially blind artists which invites visitors to touch, move and play the artworks.

We’ll then head to our studio to make sculptures inspired by Serafina’s artwork, creating a box with mysterious contents that we can describe to others.

Tickets

This workshop is designed for families with children aged 6+, and we encourage creativity in all ages, so adults are encouraged to make too!

We’re running two sessions for this event, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Both sessions feature the same content, so please only book for one.

Tickets for this workshop are free, but please book in advance as places are limited. Please book tickets for all adults and children in your group.
