One Ocean 2026: Flints Family Workshop

As part of One Ocean at Turner Contemporary, artist Newton See and the wonderful FLINTS facilitators will hold a two-hour open coastal space on Saturday, on the intertidal beach just in front of the gallery.

Open to families and all ages, this drop-in session offers coastal crafting, marine observation, arts and seasonal song. Participants are invited to join for the full two hours, with a gentle programme and rhythm unfolding throughout, concluding with a Waldorf puppet play featuring Selkie the Seal.
