Curious Kids: Woodworking with Cahoots
15 November
4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Join us for this after-school workshop where we’ll learn how to build plant and flower presses! During this workshop we’ll be joined by one half of Brighton-based woodworking collective Cahoots, who will be teaching us how to make plant presses. Under guidance, children will have the chance to use a drill to put their presses together, then get creative by painting and decorating them, before pressing some of the greenery provided. You will get to take home your personalised press to preserve flowers and leaves you find on your journeys.
About the artist
Cahoots have been living and working in Brighton for the last nine years since moving here to study 3D Design & Craft. They work mostly in wood, running a small furniture business ‘Cahoots’ from a studio in New England House. They also work in props, building large installations for events such as Brainchild Festival, and Frog & Bone, and facilitating workshops in these areas.
Curious Kids is a workshop programme for 6 – 11 years olds taking place between autumn and winter at ONCA. Curious Kids workshops provide vital opportunities for social connections and creative play, crucial for childhood development and positive wellbeing, while reducing barriers to accessing art.
This workshop is free to attend but all children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the session, with no more than two children per one adult in attendance. You only need to book tickets for children. Snacks will be provided so please make ONCA aware of any allergies in advance. The activity may be messy so please wear appropriate clothing.
This project is funded by the UK government and Brighton & Hove City Council through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
