What we'll do
Open sessions: 6, 12, 13, 20 August SEND Sessions (lower numbers and higher adult to child ratio): 5, 19 August This Summer invites children and young people to artist-led sessions in a safe, supported, and creative environment. Get involved with accessible making, exploring multi-sensory and accessible routes into themes and materials around the ecology and history of East Sussex, encouraging social bonds that develop through making together. Our sessions are non-outcome focused; we encourage a child-led approach to exploration, supporting them to interpret themes in a way that works for them. Support staff are happy to adapt activities to the needs and interests of participants for a more enriching experience. Caregivers are welcome to join or drop off at the session to share in the creative making with their children. A selection of lunch options will be available throughout the session alongside fruit kebabs.

About your mentor
Towner Eastbourne
Mollie - Learning Curator at Towner
Towner Eastbourne are developing a six-week, creative programme of artist-led workshops alongside food provision. Taking over the ground-floor studio spaces. We'll host a total of ten sessions for families in receipt of free school meals throughout the summer holidays. Children can join us at any point in the creative process to make independent or collaborative work and even display it in our studio spaces over the Summer 2024 and 2025. For more information on our learning programmes please visit our websites or get in touch!
When you arrive
Come into the gallery and head straight through the foyer to Studio 1 on the ground floor directly opposite the entrance. At the Studio entrance, you'll be met by Mollie or Mehrin who will take your names and confirm any booking details. We'll also ask whether you are staying for the session. Mollie or Mehrin will point out the lead artist and staff supporting the session, you'll be offered a name sticker and we'll confirm if photography is ok. We'll give you a brief overview of the space and activities.
