https://maps.app.goo.gl/y6SHSonvjKEMa248A

Come and explore a MULTIVERSE of possibilities. There will be activities using natural and reused materials emerging from YOUR ideas and interests - Den Building, Drawing, Sculpture, Architecture, Craft, Sound and Film + much more… Supported by experienced artists.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Parents/carers will need to stay for the workshop. However, you will not need to supervise other than to accompany your children to the toilets. This is because of the distance of the toilet from the creative space. We will be building a new compost toilet closer to the space. And when this happens we will be able to reassess these arrangements. Parents/Carers are VERY welcome to get creative as well.
