About

Explore connections between sensory materials, and our building and paintings at this playful drop-in session for families.

Experiment with different ways of looking at built and natural environments. Use your observations to create your own creative games and narratives together.   

This half-term, help us test new ideas and materials as part of an ongoing project with artists, children and community groups. These collaborations will shape new resources and activities for families in our new Centre for Creative Learning.
