Step back in time to the colourful 1970s with this engaging workshop designed for children to explore creativity and self-expression. Kids will have the chance to design their own fashion pieces using bold fabrics, patterns, and textures that capture the spirit of the era. Alongside creating, they can try on vintage-style outfits and immerse themselves in the fun of dress-up.
This interactive experience encourages hands-on making with a variety of materials such as drawing tools, fabric scraps, and recycled elements. As the event unfolds, each child's contribution becomes part of a collaborative installation, creating a vibrant and evolving display that celebrates identity and community.
Parents can expect a lively, creative environment where children are inspired to experiment and express themselves through art and fashion.
The workshops are held in Gallery Two, a bright and welcoming space designed to stimulate imagination. Activities include:
- Designing and creating unique fashion pieces
- Trying on 1970s vintage clothing for dress-up fun
- Contributing to a collaborative art installation
This event is perfect for school-aged children who enjoy hands-on creative activities and learning about cultural styles through play.
