Wild City

Together children will create a truly Wild City

Over 50 people have attended this class

Description

Wild City is a sculpture workshop where we consider wild animals as citizens in human landscapes.

Artist Kathy Holowko will introduce inspiring real-world examples of co-existence and children are invited to transform a barren urban landscape into a green metropolis where humans and wild animals can thrive together.

Children will create a truly Wild City. It’s world building on a miniature scale, and we will all want to live there!

The city will be on display for the remainder of the day for Edendale visitors to enjoy, explore and learn from.


Note:

  • Parents / adults are not required to stay with participants but must stay on the Edendale site and provide a mobile contact number, for the duration of the event.
  • Children will be building in groups of 2. If an adult chooses to stay and assist their child, they must purchase their own ticket. 
  • Each participant will receive a felt finger puppet to take home.

Patrick and his cousin were reluctant to attend but they totally loved the experience. We rate it a 5 but I was unable to change it. Having spoken to the teacher she said the boys were very diligent and stayed on task. The boys were thrilled to show their productive work to 2 grandmothers.
