For the first of our six-month-long commissions, artist Jemma Egan has designed a loose-parts kit to explore our emotional attachment to objects in our everyday lives.

Drop in to the studio on Sunday afternoons to relax and play with objects themed around non-human family members such as a robot pet dog named Aibo. Sessions are self-directed and open to all, but cater specifically towards children aged 0-5 years.

Please note that the play space is open every Sunday 2-4pm, excluding the last Sunday of the month, when our artist-led workshops take place. Click here for more information about this month’s workshop.
