Immerse yourself in a street art masterclass for ages 7 – 11 with WOM Collective in our first ever Imagine Artist Studio space for older kids.
Focusing on a different specialism every day, the workshops introduce participants to various street art techniques like stencil making, graffiti lettering and how to create art adapted to the urban spaces.
Children work alongside professional artists, learning not only the artistic skills needed but also the importance of teamwork and community expression. Each session empowers children to discover and develop their artistic voice.
Mini Architects – Tue 18 Feb 2025, 11am
The author and illustrator present some of the 20 amazing projects in their book, Mini Architects, which take inspiration from buildings such as the pyramids of ancient Egypt, New York city’s skyline and the mythical Labyrinth of Theseus.
These projects are the perfect starting point for mini architects to pick up concepts and explore different styles, techniques and materials. Or, in other words, to borrow ideas from great architects and play with them! They’ll also have the chance to try out interactive activities.
For a peaceful end to what looks to be an exciting day out, make you way to The Meditation Station in the Clore Ballroom, a free event where you can recharge and settle.
