This Winter, Convent Kids returns to serve up a family friendly feast for the imagination.

Settle in to a smörgåsbord of exciting workshops with three experienced and exciting artists in the Convent’s underground gallery: The Store.  Use colours and textures to create artworks that celebrate and respond to the cool and wintry light.

Renowned for unique hands-on learning experiences for children, Convent Kids empowers children as co-creators of culture. Our Smörgåsbord workshops give free rein to lively imaginations and experimentation; quality materials and quirky objects.

Three workshops run simultaneously in one jam-packed morning. Sign up for one then table hop to another:

Murals with Nicky Tsekouras: Using paper for colour, stripes and abstractions, kids can slice and dice their artworks together for hanging in space – creating a collective mobile mural.

Print with block-outs with Alice Tsiavos: Piece together transparent and opaque materials and explore ways to block-out light to reveal the shapes, images and words between the cracks.

Papier mâché with David Booth: Experiment with a range of materials to build and make your own version of a batty bat.

 

This event is best suited to kids aged 4 — 12.
