Half Term Cardboard Creators Club (Summer Exhibition Special) DAY 3 ‘THE SPACE’
*Our concept photos have been generated to show you the workshop ideas. But the cat in the box is real - who doesn’t love a box?
This half term holiday, we’re doing things a little bit differently! Our popular workshop is taking on a new twist - it’s more like a club. When you sign your child up, they’ll join us for a full day of creative fun (and they can book Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 if they’d like!).
Every year, our community art school hosts a Summer Exhibition, and this year we’re inviting a team of young artists and creators to help shape it in a brand new space. The Holiday Workshop Creators will have their very own designated area in the turret room at Insole Court, where they’ll create an immersive installation together.
Their mission? To transform the space with a secret wardrobe at its heart. Over the three days, they’ll build an imaginative world using cardboard, designing scenes, creating settings, and making art that Weill completely take over the room.
Across the three days, the project will unfold in stages.
Day 1 will focus on portraits, using cardboard to create bold, characterful figures inspired by imagination and storytelling.
Day 2 will centre around the wardrobe itself, designing and making clothing to hang inside, layered, textured and full of personality.
Day 3 will bring everything together, with children creating everyday objects and props to hang and place throughout the room, transforming the space into a fully immersive 3D stage set.
Inspired by artists and designers who use simple materials in creative ways, the children will explore how cardboard can be cut, layered, drawn onto and constructed to create striking visual pieces from wearable designs to hanging objects and sculptural forms. Expect big ideas, bold making, and lots of creative problem solving. It’s going to be wonderfully messy, so please make sure your young artists don’t wear their best clothes!
The final installation will invite visitors to step inside the turret room during the exhibition and discover a magical, immersive environment - full of imagination, creativity, and the unique ideas of the children who created it.
This is a fantastic opportunity for children aged 7–14 to be part of something really special. Along the way, they’ll also make smaller pieces to take home, giving you a glimpse into the creative process behind the scenes.
If your child would love to become one of our Holiday Workshop Creators, sign them up today, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our private view / community garden party on 15th July to celebrate their work! The exhibition will be open all summer to the public.
Where will the workshops take place?
At the Beth Morris Workshops studio, The Dairy in the grounds of Insole Court, Cardiff. The children will create together around a large table.
Do they need a packed lunch and snacks?
Yes, they can sit in the workspace outside the studio, and in drier weather on the immediate paved /grassed area by the window. The tutor will be setting up for the next task at lunch so your child will need to be able to entertain themselves and chat with new friends. We cannot allow children to visit the cafe area if they are left in our care, so please supply a packed lunch, and drinks. You could also pick your child up at lunch time if you’d prefer.
Is there a discount for siblings?
Of course. If you are booking more than one child in the same household (siblings) onto a course please use the code WEAREFAMILY to take 10% off your overall in-person workshop booking. Please don’t use the code unless you are booking for siblings though. This is not a code for parents to book 2 friends on. It’s to support families with more than one child attending 😊 This code is only for children’s holiday workshops.
Do I have to adhere to the age guidelines when booking?
Yes please. I have years of teaching experience and I am the Mum of three, so I set the age limits for a reason. The tasks are age appropriate and the children / young people should all feel comfortable with their peers.
My child has additional learning needs - Is the workshop suitable?
We can not offer 1:1 support unfortunately, but if they can work semi-independently with 14 peers all day, they will love our fun inclusive and relaxed workshops. The tutor will make sure they understand the tasks and support them within the session. On booking, please email info@bethmorrisworkshops.co.uk with any extra information that will help us support your child so we can be fully prepared. You know your child best so please talk to us so we can help.
Does my child need to bring any materials or art supplies?
No, all materials are included in the price of the workshop, just don’t wear your best clothes!
