Did you know that the most recent ancestor shared by the octopus and the human was over 600 million years ago? This means that the octopus is the closest thing to an 'alien' that we have on earth.

Drawing from the themes of the exhibition 'As Small As Eyes' (ASAE), which is all about our octopus friend, we are excited to host this special workshop designed for young people, led by artist-teacher Mariette Moor.

The most interesting ideas and imaginings from the research of ASAE will be shared in fun and accessible ways:

  • Collaborative drawing

  • Learning and quizzing fun octopus facts

  • Costume-making with pre-prepared materials

All materials will be provided, as well as simple refreshments. If you have any dietary needs or allergies, please let us know (we are a nut-free environment)!

Please sign up with the intention to show up. Or let us know in good time if you can't make it so we can offer the place. It'll help us keep the workshops free and intimate. Thank you!
