This is a family workshop for children 5+ years old. Children must be accompanied by a guardian to participate.

Learn how to design and make playful, marine inspired mobiles while exploring with air drying clay, textiles, driftwood and a range of recycled materials. Experimenting with colour, pattern, texture and form, you’ll also have the opportunity to create pieces for a large-scale collaborative installation during this fun family workshop.
