Explore the surprising properties and history of colour in a interactive installation designed for our ‘Chromacopia’ Art Lab for primary schools. A special animation, made by CAST’s Saturday Art Club leader Kate Turner, will reveal some of the vibrant spectrum of meanings associated with colour, and there’ll be old-school OHP projectors set up for you to create your own colourful patterns and images, and viewing devices to try out different ways of looking at the world through the lens of colour.
This activity is part of Golden October, a weekend of creativity celebrating the renewal of CAST’s roofs. This significant programme of work, along with many of CAST’s learning activities during 2023 and 2024, has been made possible by funding by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Some renovations will continue through the winter months, but, at this important milestone, we want to invite the whole community to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the investment in this special heritage building – a place for art, culture and learning that is open to all.
