What would an underground city, full of playful tunnels, look like? Join artist Natasha Bird for an experimental session creating an imaginary tunnel sculpture. 

Try out new materials, and think about what we see and how we play as we move through the city. Will you make a tube train or hidden tunnel, an underground den or a underwater slide? Once we’ve made our model sculptures we’ll explore them together using DIY viewing devices to look at things in a different way.
