Family Workshop


Last Sunday marked the end of Post Industrial Revolution in Digbeth and we concluded the exhibition activity by hosting a creative workshop.  The family workshop lead by Kelly Merriman with the assistance of Hanna Nadobna (thanks ladies!)  was a great end to this busy residency and exhibition period.



During the workshop children and grownups were encouraged to create their own versions of the Birmingham Coat of Arms using a variety of materials.  In an unusual twist we included in the workshop materials food products such as Typhoo tea, Bird’s Custard and Cadbury coco powder!  This aided the exploration of work by Kamila Szejnoch and culinary group MASH/HER/DIP.

The children produced fantastic pieces and didn’t hold back with the food based products, in fact there was an overwhelming smell of coco by the end of the workshop!
