Step into a world of imagination with artist Michelle Le Plastrier as she guides children through creating miniature future worlds. This workshop encourages kids to think creatively about design and materials, crafting unique tiny environments like bedrooms, kitchens, or playgrounds using paper clay and various craft supplies.
Children will have the chance to express their ideas freely and develop fine motor skills in a fun, supportive setting. It's a perfect activity for young minds eager to explore art and design.
Parents and carers can enjoy watching their children engage deeply with the creative process while knowing they are in a safe, supervised environment.
