Join us for Sunday Spot, a free monthly make and play workshop designed for families. Led by an artist and supported by the SLG’s Art and Play Team, these workshops are experimental, exploratory and really fun.
On 27 August, artist Shona Coyne will lead a creative workshop for children aged 5–12 years with their parents and carers.
Learn how to build a mini bug hotel to hang in your own garden/ outdoor spaces or in the gallery garden. By making safe shelters for many different wildlife, we will learn how to encourage biodiversity in our outdoor spaces. Insects are essential for a garden to bloom, vital for pollination, soil health and food for birds and other animals; they benefit the natural ecosystem. All materials and tools are provided, we will be reusing and repurposing natural materials.
Shona designed the SLG’s Garden Trail, looking at fun ways for younger people to enjoy our outdoor, green spaces.
All materials provided, no booking required.
