The course creates space for investigating materials’ potential by constructing large or extremely small-scale sculptures; changing form and dimension of ready-made objects through repetition, wrapping, knotting, tearing, squeezing, hiding, bending, twisting or combining. The children got the opportunity to create architecture, assemblage and sculptures at large-scale, and incredibly small. They worked with the idea of the maquette; making a small playful version of an idea, before trying to recreate it at a larger scale.

Activities Include: Den/shelter building; wrapping of objects hung in the space; bamboo constructions; outdoor installations using fabric, tube, rails and foam; covering objects.

“It was so fun, you were free to do or make whatever you wanted. You could make dens, you could make a bridge, you could make a marble run, you could make play dough. You arrive and there is just loads of materials to build and play with and the staff encourage and support you in whatever you do.” – Freddy, age 11

Adventures in Material & Space is a programme of short-courses for Children taking place at Warwick Prep on a regular basis during the holidays. Every short-course is different with new activities, materials and process introduced each time. Open to all.

A number of free and half-price places were made available to those on low income, thanks to support by Friends of the Arts Warwickshire. If the cost is stopping you signing your child up for future courses, drop us an email summarising your personal circumstance and let’s see if we can help.

We are happy to accept children with additional needs, though it is essential that you get in touch with us in advance to discuss the details to ensure a safe, productive and creative experience for all, given our staffing capacity.
