Sustainable Free-Play workshop with Studio TIP

Get hands on, play and experiment to make your own creations using sustainably sourced materials.

Join Studio TIP for a hands-on creative workshop for all ages to play, invent and assemble, using natural and recycled offcuts including locally sourced materials from South London-based Sedilia’s hand-made furniture practice. Participants will discover the hidden life of everyday materials, how they feel, connect and become something new.

Guided by a Material Library, discover the stories, textures, and qualities of these secondary raw materials. Then, dive into intuitive making: assemble your own mini sculptures or abstract creations using only string and wire—no glue, just imagination.

Celebrate reuse, creativity and exploration in this tactile environment.

This is not a structured class – it’s a space for children and adults alike to lead their own play, build, stack, sort and invent. Mess is welcome, no rules apply!

No experience needed. Just curiosity.

What to expect

  • A variety of materials to touch, move, build with, and reimagine
  • Creative freedom to explore without rules or pressure
  • Inspired by loose parts play, sustainability, circular economy and joyful making
  • Grown-ups are welcome to get involved or sit back and observe

In partnership with Studio TIP
