Workhouse Studios Workshops. The Workhouse Studios Workshops are part of Design Week in association with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE.

Three children's workshops of mixed media/construction using found and recycled objects, as well as bought/traditional craft materials. The aim is to allow groups of children to interpret a stimulus and respond to it in 3D form, creating a sculptural piece that could then be exhibited for the remainder of Design Week.

Processes and skills that are often associated with craft and design will be demonstrated in an informal manner throughout the workshops, as construction requires. This will allow for an organic and interactive workshop for participants, as it will become very much group-led.

The idea behind the workshops is that they takes place in a space where the work can become an exhibit once completed. Workhouse Studios is interested in allowing workshop participants the experience of having work on show in a gallery for an event.

When:

Mon 2 Nov-Tue 3 Nov: the first two sessions on Mon 2 Nov are closed, with participants coming from locally invited schools; on Tue 3 Nov there will be an open workshop for parents and children from 3.30pm-5pm.
