Kids activities:

12:00-14:00: Little Sculptors (Playroom Art)

Microcosm: A fantastic tour in the world of colors and shapes. The children’s heroes will come to life and become strange temporary sculptures. We cover a large table with clay and ask for children to create an imaginary city, a jungle or strange temporary sculptures. Meanwhile, we talk about the qualities of the material, which is the basis of sculpture. Children get the chance to come close to this natural material and create a work as a team.

Children’s age: 2-8 years old
