SummerWorkWeeks: New LIves
What would an everyday object look like if it came to life? We will take inspiration from the tsukumogami of Japanese folkore – ordinary everyday objects which develop personalities of their own.
5 August 2026 10:00 - 14:00
Using found materials, you will breathe new life into an old or discarded item by designing a fantasy figure with its own story. By building, combining and experimenting, you will see that even the most ordinary materials can become something truly special.
You can drop in any time between 12:00 and 15:30 (finishing at 16:00), or sign up in advance and choose a time slot.
Suitable for children aged 6 to 12 | Language: Dutch/English | Location: Nieuwe Instituut | Free admission

From transforming spaces to building colourful landscapes and unique objects, each workshop invites you to become a creator and designer. You will learn how to bring your own ideas to life using simple materials and plenty of imagination.
