Join us for a hands-on creative workshop for all ages to play, invent and assemble, using natural and recycled offcuts from Sedilia’s hand-made furniture practice. Participants will discover the hidden life of everyday materials, how they feel, connect and become something new.
Guided by a Material Library, discover the stories, textures, and qualities of these secondary raw materials. Then, dive into intuitive making: assemble your own mini sculptures or abstract creations using only string and wire—no glue, just imagination.
Celebrate reuse, creativity and exploration in this tactile environment.
No experience needed. Just curiosity.
Maximum of 2 adults per child

MANIFESTO
At Studio TIP we believe that in the post-industrial world, western society has developed a broken relationship with materials. This breakdown contributes to our loss of connection with the earth and the materials that build the infrastructure of our modern lives. Within our work we want to explore how we rebuild this relationship and what this dialogue looks like in a world of contemporary, industrial materials. We aim to make positive, tangible and pragmatic material solutions that are equally accessible and inspiring for both local and global communities and wider industries.
