Making art at Towner

Wriggle Room is a two-year art and performance programme developed by Towner Eastbourne. Monthly themes gently link activities to the picturesque areas of the South Downs, and Towner's collection of regional, national and international artists. The project is enhanced by seasonal trips into the landscape – e.g. Friston Forest, where we collected seeds, feathers and sticks in a nature scavenger hunt.

The doors open at 10am for each session, which are run by the artists Katy Beinart and Lydia Hunt with the support of volunteers and Towner's Learning Team. Today we are looking at seeds.

ACTIVITIES

The interactive story session includes passing a bag of creatures among the children. Different animals are selected and held up so the group can all make the noise of the animal, and we round off the session with a sing-along at midday.
