Zeitz MOCAA’s much-loved holiday programme is back for its winter edition with exciting workshops for kids aged six to eight years and nine to 12 years. The workshops are inspired by architectural spaces within the museum and children will be introduced to 2D and 3D mediums to create their own architectural visions in an environment that encourages playful investigation of materials and techniques. Workshops will take place at the CFAE on level -1, the Scheryn Arena on level 0 and on level 6 at 10 am for children aged six to eight years and at 2 pm for children aged nine to 12 years.
A maximum of 25 children for the 6-8-years age group and 30 children for the 9-12-years age group will be allowed per session. Parents are requested to deliver their children to the Centre for Arts Education (CFAE) on level -1 of Zeitz MOCAA for registration. No children must be left unattended in the museum.
Please see below for full details of each workshop. All queries can be directed to education@zeitzmocaa.museum.
