Join us in the Family Studio for a free drop-in art activity with Catherine Jones, who will show you how to make your own thaumatropes! One of the oldest forms of animation, thaumatropes combine paired images drawn on both sides of a circular surface to create an exciting optical illusion of movement. Head into the gallery to explore Alize Zorlutuna's We Who Have Known Many Shores, and draw inspiration from the various symbols and objects found in their exhibition to create a thaumatrope in the studio - or let Alize's stories of ancestral lands guide you to your own imagery and ideas!

Volunteer Gallery Guides will also be present to provide informal exhibition tours and answer visitors' questions as part of Doors Open Burlington.
