WUNDERS WINTER WORKSHOPS – WHAT IS A CHAIR? – with Francesco Nassimbeni WHEN: Thurs 02 July Time: 10h00 – 12h00 Cost: R550.00 Age: 7 – 13 years old Where: Mmakesspace, Wunders Showroom, 32 Napier st, Greenpoint Inspired by Enzo Mari’s Autoprogettazione and his radical DIY philosophy, this playful, hands-on workshop invites children to think like designers and makers. Can a chair become a sculpture? Can cardboard solve a problem? Through building, experimenting, and reimagining everyday objects, children explore form, function, and creativity using simple materials and big ideas. IMPOSSIBLE BOOKS – with Francesco Nassimbeni WHEN: Tuesday 07 July Time: 10h00 – 12h00 Cost: R550.00 Age: 7 – 13 years old Where: Mmakesspace, Wunders Showroom Can a book be furry? Can it be round? Can it bounce or twist, can it walk around? Inspired by Bruno Munari’s “Illegible Books”, this fun, tactile workshop explores the boundaries of what books are. Upside-down, inside-out: the imagination is the limit! Waste to Wonder! – with Francesco Nassimbeni WHEN: Thursday 09 July Time: 10h00 – 12h00 Cost: R550.00 Age: 7 – 13 years old Where: Mmakesspace, Wunders Showroom, 32 Napier st, Greenpoint Can a plastic bottle become a hat? Can a spoon become a fidget spinner? Inspired by the Wunders Mmakspace philosophy of conscious upcycling and reinvention, this playful workshop turns waste into wonder. Using discarded materials, children will invent sculptures, curious creations, and unexpected objects — proving that imagination can give anything a second life. SCRAP SELFIES! With LEZA WHEN: Tuesday 14 July Time: 10h00 – 12h00 Cost: R550.00 Age: 7 – 13 years old Where: Mmakesspace, Wunders Showroom, 32 Napier st, Greenpoint Make a “selfie” from scrap fabric and trims. Every portrait is unique which speaks to the little artist in them. They start by drawing a simple face on cardboard and then they explore colours, patterns and textures from our waste stash that represent aspects of themselves, cut simple shapes and layer them onto the cardboard with glue. Their portraits can be embellished with buttons and trims. Lots of play and imagination! MAKE A MONSTER – with LEZA WHEN: Thursday 16 July Time: 10h00 – 12h00 Cost: R550.00 Age: 7 – 13 years old Where: Mmakespace, Wunders Showroom, 32 Napier st, Greenpoint Make your own monster from textile waste using a running stitch.
