Help us grow our very own POMPOM Forest in the Gallery!
Join us in creating a giant community artwork inside the Glasshouse Regional Gallery.
Make your own colourful pompom and add it to our growing POMPOM Forest, where every creation reflects a different mood, personality and moment in time.
Inspired by the themes of sensorial, the repetitive process of making a pompom can be calming and meditative, inviting you to slow down, create and connect through sensory play and self-expression.
Facilitated POMPOM Making
Saturday 25 July
10am–2pm
With local artists Lucy Pascale and Claire Johnson
Can't make the facilitated session? You can still join in.
- Drop in and create your own pompom at any time during gallery opening hours.
- Pompom-making supplies, instructions and assistance from our volunteers will be available.
- Add your creation to the growing forest and become part of the artwork.
No experience needed — just bring your creativity and help our forest grow.
About the Exhibition
sensorial
A Blue Mountains Cultural Centre touring exhibition.
This exhibition includes new and existing work made by neurodivergent and disabled people and those who work with them. The artists and collectives have wholeheartedly embraced the idea of presenting works that captivate our full range of senses and most importantly, can be touched. The works are invitations to enter each artist’s world and consider their perspective.
The aim of sensorial is to engage multiple senses and move beyond the dominance of sight within the gallery space. The traditional hands-off constraints do not apply. All the works are immersive environments which encourage visitors’ physical engagement through touch, play and interaction.
It invites you to leave your gallery conditioning at the door and allow yourself to be fully absorbed by these works, to lose yourself for a moment through play or active participation. Take the time to listen, feel and sense, as well as look.
