PLAY WORKSHOPS
​
We take play seriously and create pop-up play spaces for children and their families to play freely.
​
Rooted in loose parts play, we create spaces that allow for a range of play - physical, imaginative, creative, exploratory, dramatic - players might build structures, create characters, make stories, design sculptures, invent sports, solve problems or just explore the properties of different objects.
​
We have experience creating early years focused spaces and spaces for 0-11 year olds and their families, for festivals, schools and arts organisations.
