Join us for a Family Art Fun Day inspired by current Turf exhibition Frivolous Convulsions!

Using objects, photographs and drawings, create 3D collage of a moment in your life.
It might be a big day that you remember well, or maybe just what you had for breakfast this morning.

Then bring your moment to back to life by making a painting from your 3D collage!

You can explore our current exhibition, Frivolous Convulsions, to get inspiration and see how artists use paint and colour to show us things they remember.

This workshop is most suitable for ages 7+, but all are welcome to come and have a go.
Spaces in our workshops are limited and in high demand, so make sure to book a free ticket in advance. Our tickets are booked per child with accompanying adult included.

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
