A creative model-making workshop for ages 5 and up, inviting children and adults alike to explore the principles of design and architecture through playful, hands-on making.
Guided by specialist architectural modelmakers, participants will learn how to design and build a scale model of a modernist seafront building using recycled and craft materials. (Children under 14 must be accompanied.)
Child-friendly tools will be provided, including scissors, glue, tape, and simple model-making equipment, with additional tools available for older participants under supervision.
The workshop is conceived and led by Mike Fairbrass, who worked as Head Modelmaker and Modelshop Manager for Lord Richard Rogers in his international architecture practice for over 30 years. He has hosted modelmaking workshops at the Royal Academy, The V&A, and The Design Museum as well as in Europe and the Far East.
