Family workshop to make a DIY alternative advent calendar inspired by artist Peter Finnemore, part of the gallery's monthly Saturday morning sessions.
Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is hosting its next Saturday Family Art Club on 14 November, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. This month's session is all about making a DIY alternative advent calendar, and it's inspired by the gallery's new exhibition by artist Peter Finnemore.
If you haven't come across it before, the Saturday Family Art Club is a monthly morning workshop run by the gallery's learning team. The whole idea is for families to get stuck in and experiment with different materials and techniques, so you'll spend the two hours making something rather than just looking. It's part of the wider Family Fun Days programme, which is built around the notion of looking and making: you explore the exhibitions first, then join in to create your own piece and pick up a few new skills along the way.
For this one, the starting point is Peter Finnemore's new exhibition, and the project is a DIY alternative advent calendar. All the materials are provided, so you don't need to bring anything with you. It's suitable for children aged 3 and over, and under-10s need to be accompanied by an adult. Booking is essential, so you'll want to get your spot sorted in advance rather than turning up on the day.

On the practical side, it's £3.00 per child plus one accompanying adult, and £2.00 for any additional adult. A limited number of free places are held for the refugee community, people seeking asylum and Passport to Leisure holders. The session runs from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, SA1 5DZ.
