OPEN DAYS
Our Open Days initiate creative action and inspiration across all gallery spaces for the whole family to enjoy.
OPEN DAY: Pattern Making
Saturday 22 May
1pm to 3pm
Artist Tricky Walsh often uses a repetition of geometry to create striking patterns in their work. Using a template, various tools and materials, participants will be encouraged to explore different uses of geometry to create their own patterns.
This activity is free for kids and will take place in the gallery.
Bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
OPEN DAY: Mazes & Labyrinths
Saturday 19 June
1pm to 3pm
Using grid drawing papers as a guide, kids attending this session will design their own maze. At the end of the activity, participants will have the option to swap photocopies of their mazes with others in the group, test them out and explore them together.
This free activity for kids will take place in the gallery.
Bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
OPEN DAY: DIY Kaleidoscope
Saturday 17 July
1pm to 3pm
Some of the patterns in Tricky Walsh’s work could be described as kaleidoscopic. This engaging activity will allow kids to assemble their own kaleidoscopes using a kit of basic materials, exploring how different compositions of colour and shape can produce endless possibilities and visual effects.
This free activity for kids will take place in the gallery.
Bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
OPEN DAY: Make a Polylink
Saturday 5 June
1pm to 3pm
The way artist Tricky Walsh uses geometric patterns in their work often creates a surreal and playful sense of other dimensions.

Bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
OPEN DAY: Prism Boxes

Combining elements of mathematics and creativity, this activity will involve transforming a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional form through cutting and folding, differing materials and colours to decorate their shapes before putting together their own prism to take home! This free activity for kids will take place in the gallery workshop.
Bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
OPEN DAY: Spirograph Drawing
