UNEARTHINGS – making / talking / recording

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

UNEARTHINGS invites local people aged 4 to 10 to come along and create. That’s it, no rules, no end goals just making for the joy of making. Freestyle crafts, painting, drawing… whatever you feel like.

Materials will be provided. Though if you have a favourite material of your own you wish to use, bring it along, tell us why you love it!

We will discuss the joys and challenges of ideas – making, designing, creating and developing them.

This workshop is a pilot project for a new podcast that will unearth and explore the many forms and many joys of that thing we call creativity.

PLEASE NOTE

– I will ask for your email address to share the edited recordings prior to launching this new podcast.

– Workshop capacity is 10 children. Parents and carers, you are welcome to leave the workshop space. The Mill Library is just the other side of the wall!

Please contact studio@aymiebackler.com if you have any questions.
