Shadow Structures

4 - 18 August 2026
10:30
Included in general admission

Create small scale, hand-held structures from paper, wire and tape to join a shadow army!

Join artist Tess Hardy every Tuesday to have fun with sculpture shadow.

Working with your family make small scale, hand-held structures from paper, wire and tape. Then arrange them in front of lamps and torches - alongside sculptures made by other visitors - to produce a landscape of shadowy figures that overlap and intercept each other. Then, why notspend time in current sculpture exhibitions by Jean (Hans) Arp and Garth Evans to consider how shadow is significant in art made in three dimensions.

This is a drop-in activity taking place in Art Space, no booking required. We are a Give What You Can Gallery.
