What happens at the kitchen table? What do you talk about, cook, eat, play with, make? Who do you spend time with?
This February half-term Families will be encouraged to chat while they create in a relaxed, collaborative environment. Activities will invite open-ended playful making informed by conversations between children, their families, carers and friends.
Our sessions are designed to be safe and welcoming spaces. Workshops are suitable for families of all ages – babies, children and adults can all enjoy squishing, squeezing, moulding and building with clay, and the playful process of making your own placemat.
Collective Clay Building: Roll squash squeeze and shape with clay as you contribute to a giant collaborative sculpture
Textile Placemat Making: Create unique placemats that reflect your mealtime conversations by drawing cutting and sticking onto scrap fabric
