Family Day Workshop

Next date: Saturday, 23 May 2026 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Join us for a hands-on, imaginative workshop led by award-winning artist Katy B Plummer, designed for children aged 6–12. Inspired by Margaret and the Grey Mare, this one-hour session invites young participants to explore creative expression in a playful and supportive environment.

Children will make costumes out of kraft paper and tape, engaging with themes from the video installation to spark curiosity and encourage collaboration.

No prior experience needed — just bring your imagination.

Parents and carers are warmly encouraged to attend alongside their child at no additional cost. Grown-ups must accompany children for the full workshop.

If cost is a barrier and you would like to attend, please contact us at The Substation.

MAKE A DAY OF IT AT THE SUBSTATION

After the workshop, participants and their families are encouraged to stay and experience the full Margaret and the Grey Mare video installation, explore A Residual Pulse, a new family-friendly exhibition by light artist Meagan Streader, and step outside to view textile artist Nicole Chui's Grassroots Never Dies, Worldwide outdoor billboard gallery.

Come along, get creative and enjoy a full day of art, light and storytelling for all ages.
