About this event

Come and create a participatory artwork through mark-making with anything but your hands! Explore using mark-making tools provided, designed to be moved with elbows, faces, feet, and knees. Experiment to see the different ways you end up drawing and painting when you use a different part of your body to do it. If you have any questions about what's involved and access needs relating to this please give us an email to laura@jelly.org.uk

Ruby is a multidisciplinary artist specialising in installation, performance, and sculpture. They've been leading family art workshops with the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne inspired by their practice.

The session is drop in and open to all ages and generations to come and make together. The studios capacity is 20, so if we become full we may need to ask you to wait till space becomes available.

This is a free activity with the option to donate to Jelly if you are able.

For families - an adult is required to stay with their child throughout the duration of the session.
