Microscopic Art
Explore the tiny ecosystems in coastal soils and create artwork inspired by your discoveries. Join the After School Art Club at Hastings Contemporary for a unique five-week experience.
On Thursday, 5 November 2026, the Hastings Contemporary in Hastings will host an After School Art Club for 8-12 year olds, led by the team from Soil Craft. Over five weeks, children will delve into the hidden world beneath our feet, using microscopes to investigate coastal soils and create artwork inspired by their findings.
