Get hands-on with creative technology and crafting to explore what makes you uniquely you! This workshop is part of The Blank Page Project.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include a free lunch, drinks and snacks!
Explore identity with creative technologies and crafting in this one day workshop. We’ll dive into what makes you uniquely you by experimenting with creative technologies and sensory materials. You’ll use a blend of drawing, collage, sound-making, and interactive tools to create multi-sensory collages that reflect your identity. As we collaborate, we’ll join our creations together, building a sensory sculpture that shares a story of our collective identity.
The wellbeing of our young people is really important to us and time outdoors is a key part of that. With this in mind, where possible a short walk or time outdoors will be incorporated into the workshop days. This will be supervised by the staff running the workshops and will also be weather dependent. Please ensure your child has a coat and sensible footwear!
