About this event

An introduction to sculpture for our tiniest visitors and their grown-ups.

Join us for a relaxed tour of the galleries to explore our new exhibition Sagarika Sundaram: Reservoir, then head upstairs to our Studio for a sensory play session.

Sagarika Sundaram creates monumental sculptures using felted wool. This exhibition features entirely new work created in Kutch, India which include seven-metre-long Blue Mountain, and a floor-to-ceiling, shell-like spiral, Dancer, which gently spins. Upstairs in our Studio, the babies will explore a sensory space filled with fuzzy, tactile materials which connect to the artworks.

We hope that these free sessions provide a chance for parents and grandparents to socialise and explore and discuss our exhibitions, while also providing enriching, playful experiences for babies.

This event is free of charge and no booking is required, just drop in any time in the morning from 11:00 until 12:30, or in the afternoon from 14:00 until 15:30.
