Artist Lucy Grant will lead free creative activities in CAST’s ground floor learning studio every Wednesday in August. There will be different materials and techniques to try each week: painting inspired by ships and the sea on 5 August, block printing on 12 August, making mobiles on 19 August, and portrait printing on 26 August.
The CAST building is open from Wednesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, with a free exhibition of films showing in the black box screening space.
A large camera obscura drawing device has been installed on the CAST Café terrace, for anyone who would like to try making a portrait of a friend or family member, using technology employed since the time of Leonardo da Vinci.
The ground floor Art Studio will also be open from Thursday to Saturday as a quiet space for drawing.
