There’s a hive of activity happening over the Easter school holidays at Aviva Studios.

Just drop by the Social for a full programme of kids’ craft. The best thing is – it’s all free.

Crafty hands and budding creative minds will be able to create their own butterfly mask with Kymara Akinpelumi and Annie Moxon, and decorate their own wearable butterfly wings with Mia Raczkowska. There’s also the option to join a paper folding workshop with UPTONOGOOD.ART. Plus, the disco divas amongst us will enjoy making their own vibrant disco crown, in a session led by Gemma Hemingway.

These sessions are guaranteed to put a spring in everyone’s step. Head to the Social for all this and more.

Free to attend – just drop in.

This event is happening as part of Factory International’s free programme of events.
