Bring Miffy’s world to life with sound & touch!

Morning: 10.30am - 12pm - Ages 8-11
Afternoon: 1pm - 2.30pm - Ages 12-14

Step into a world of imagination where your artwork responds to your touch! Inspired by the Miffy’s 70th Birthday exhibition, this hands-on workshop invites families to explore the magic of conductive paint, sound recording, and touch-sensitive sensors. Together we’ll create playful, interactive scenes.

What You’ll Do:
• Design Interactive Artwork: Create Miffy-inspired scenes that react when touched.
• Use Conductive Paint: Draw with special paint that connects to sound through touch.
• Record Custom Sounds: Add voices, effects, or music to bring your scene to life.
• Explore Touch Technology: Learn how to bring your drawings to life with sound and touch.

No experience needed—just bring your imagination and curiosity!
