Building is Art: Summer Holiday Art Club

Buildings with natural beauty
Experience our transformative workshops designed for young artists, architects, and environmentalists alike. These hands-on sessions are tailored for children aged 7-12, fostering their curiosity about plant-based and eco-friendly materials. By merging the realms of art and construction, participants will create innovative artworks. The culmination of their creative endeavours will be showcased in an exhibition at the Building Centre in September. Join us on this adventure, where imagination meets sustainability.

Discover how plants grow vertically and create a living 'canvas' in our workshop. Create a plant wall ‘painting’: a living ‘canvas’ to take home, hang indoors or outdoors and watch grow. For our second day, we are going to paint with the natural materials used in cob and adobe buildings, exploring their textures and colours and how they can create an interesting surface.

All sessions are run by artist and botanist Jane Plowright
