Workshop: Secret homes of the forest folk
This autumn, Chappe opens the exhibition Forest Creatures, bringing together John Bauer’s fairytale-inspired works with interpretations by contemporary artists influenced by folklore.
But what about you – what speaks to you in these artworks?
What kind of beings might wander through your forest?
Take part in Chappe’s workshops and create your own interpretation! Your work will become part of a collective artwork open to everyone.
The series continues with puppeteer Pauliina Vesslin, who will guide us in exploring Secret homes of the forest folk
This workshop is designed for families (1–2 children + 1 adult).
We open the door to imagination by exploring shapes found in natural materials. In this workshop, we build homes and nests for small forest creatures that often remain invisible to human eyes. The participants’ creations will become part of a collective artwork in Chappe!
Welcome to create, explore, and be enchanted!
