About the event

Lightbox Tuesday 12 August
Articulated puppets, shipwreck slides, shadow play, 'Draw Me' booth.

Create sea monsters and curious underwater shadow puppets and make your own slides to project in our black box space, or trace a friend’s portrait using camera obscura technology.

Visit our neighbour, the Museum of Cornish Life, and take inspiration from their Shipwreck exhibition to create your own magical slide. Our team will be set up in the Drill Hall at the Museum to show you how.

Head to CAST to make your own articulated puppets inspired by mythical monsters and real life curious underwater creatures with Lucy Grant in our ground floor learning studio.

Then take your creations to the black box to bring them to life.

Jonathan Polkest’s ‘Draw Me/Tedna Ve’ booth will be positioned on the CAST Café terrace throughout August, for visitors to make their own portraits of friends and family using camera obscura technology.

On three Tuesdays in August our learning team is offering the chance to experiment with some of the scientific techniques that underpin the processes of photography and moving image. Join our team in CAST’s black box screening space and learning studio to explore and play – different activities are on offer at each session.

The activities are free, family friendly, and offered on a drop-in basis, no booking required.

CAST Café will be open from 10am to 4pm, with bacon sandwiches from 10 – 11.30am, lunches (large and small) from 12 to 2.30pm, and teas, coffee and cake all day.

Donations to support our learning programme and enable it to keep running are always very welcome.

Participants of all ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

The Lightbox programme is supported by the Garcia Family Foundation.
