‘Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled.’ Jean Paul
Richter
Come and join us for some exciting art in the park. 'The Memory Tree' will be a visual installation exploring the nature of childhood memories through stories and art. Workshops for 2-8 year olds and their families are being offered in seven different languages and include story-telling and art. These also allow an opportunity for families to interact with and add to the art installation.
One of two beautiful picture books, 'The Paper Dolls' by Julia Donaldson or 'Ernest and Celestine' by Gabrielle Vincent, will lead the way into exploring ideas around childhood and childhood memory. We will use a wide variety of natural and vintage inspired materials such as ribbons, patterned fabrics, skeleton leaves and buttons, to create some cute and characterful paper dolls or toy peg dolls, as well as adding a little sparkle of course! There will also be other materials to play with to recreate your own parent and child memories including colourful chunky paint sticks and earth clays. You will be able to take all your artwork home if you wish or your little artist may like to add a few pieces to the memory web. These sessions promise to be very special and lots of fun for both adults and children to create some lasting memories of your own.
