‘Stories, string and scissors’ – a February half-term writing & making workshop – SOLD OUT
We’ll be filling the gallery space at Fabrica with our own weird and wonderful creations in our special half-term workshop. Join us as we go out on the streets of Brighton to collect snippets of conversation, found materials, sights and smells. We’ll then return to the gallery for an afternoon of writing and making paper-based sculptures, ending with a special preview for family and friends. This workshop is open to 7 to 11 year olds of all abilities, whether you’re a confident writer or need a bit more help and inspiration. We provide materials, drinks and snacks. Please bring a packed lunch.
Date: Wednesday 15 February 2012, 10 am – 2pm. Preview tour for family and friends, 1. 30 – 2 pm.
Venue: Fabrica, 40 Duke St, Brighton BN1 1AG
