Family Day: Inhabit

Towner Eastbourne is hosting its first Family Day of the school year on Friday 30 October, from 12.00pm to 4.00pm. It's a day of making for families, with workshops on masks, figures and sculpture. The theme is autumn, folklore and the stories people invent together, and the whole thing is led by Brighton-based artists Ting Cheng and Rose Miller.

Cheng is a Taiwanese-British artist who works across photography, sculpture and installation, known for turning everyday and discarded materials into playful artworks. Her work has been shown at Fabrica Gallery and Phoenix Art Space, and she's presented internationally at the Taiwan Biennial, Zen Foto Gallery in Tokyo and SALÓN ACME in Mexico City. Miller is a self-taught maker and workshop facilitator with an interest in pageantry, folklore and spectacle, and she's worked with the RSC, the National Theatre, Mackinnon & Saunders, Factory Create, Manchester Art Gallery and The Lowry. Between them, they bring a good mix of fine art and professional making to the table.

If you've got children or young people with additional support needs, there's a Quiet Hour running before the main session, from 11.00am to 12.00pm. It's designed to be a bit calmer, with a higher adult-to-child ratio and sensory bags containing noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets, so you can get stuck in without the usual bustle.

Entry is free, but you'll need a ticket. A small number are available on the day, but booking in advance is advised. There's also a Family Films screening option for £3.50 per person. The main session runs from 12.00pm to 4.00pm, with the Quiet Hour from 11.00am to 12.00pm.
