Start - Glitter & Guardians

Pack your sequined backpack, dust your passport with biodegradable glitter and get set to visit a sparkly, psychedelic wonderland inspired by Tarryn Gill’s eerie installation Guardians.

Explore the pretty and the peculiar, the beautiful and the bizarre, the crafty and the just-a-little-bit-creepy! Create a soft sculpture creature, goggle at gaudy and glamorous performance art, and get a shimmering glitter tattoo or two!
