Our drop-in craft sessions are particularly ideal for children aged 4 to 11 years old and their adults and last entries at 12.15pm and 3.15pm. If our Learning Room is busy why not head over to our 'Explore More' tables first?
Tuesday 11-Thursday 13 August
Explore your creativity with craft activities inspired by the 41 Little Lights lighthouses that are currently display around The Box's main building as part of the wider 'Guiding Lights' trail by St Luke's Hospice. We'll be making splatter, smear and sponge lighthouse paintings - and more.
Tuesday 18-Thursday 20 August and Tuesday 25-Thursday 27 August
Make bright and colourful gelli plate prints inspired by pioneering abstract artist Gillian Ayres, whose huge paintings will be showcased in our major A Life in Colour exhibition this summer.
