Lamb Collective: Ancient and Modern Sussex Waterways
Workshops/ activities
5.00pm to 8.00pm
Get creative with tactile materials relating to ancient and modern Sussex waterways, inspired by the themes of Emii Alrai Capture.
Lamb Collective will provide a collection of things to make with and draw inspiration from, including zines, poems and historical sources relating to Sussex’s bodies of water; shared by connecting towns but often under-acknowledged, under-appreciated, or disrespected. Workshop areas will be divided by a fabric sculptural river, split into four themes: Pond, River, Ocean and Urban.
On the first Friday of each month our galleries are open until 8.00pm with Pay What You Can tickets available for paid exhibitions.
Join us to enjoy later browsing of our galleries and shop, dinner and cocktails at Light until 10.30pm, and a discounted screening at Towner Cinema - Friday Film Night tickets are all £8.50!
