Gallery: Wednesday to Sunday 12–5pm
We’ve been missing the regular Dream and Make workshops that artist and educator Laura Phillimore leads at Spike Island – and we think that it’s now more important than ever to Dream and Make.
So, we’ve invited Laura to create activity packs that you can download for free. Laura has filled the packs to the brim with ideas and inspiration for making artwork at home using very simple materials. The activity packs are suitable for all ages, but especially well suited to 5–11 year olds
Play with shape, colour and pattern, taking inspiration from the teachings of the Bauhaus design school.
