CREATIVE WORKSHOPS | CHILDREN AND YOUNG

FLUFFY ANIMALS

FLUFFY ANIMALS

Did you know that with rabbit’s fur and sheep’s wool we can create felt hats?
From the contents of the long term exhibition and the reuse of textile materials, the  visitors are challenged to give wings to their imagination and create fluffy animals.

COLOURS THAT I WILL CREATE

COLOURS THAT I WILL CREATE

Blue, yellow, green and red are colours that we all know. But how can we produce these colours?
Using the colour catalogues from the dyeing laboratory of Empresa Industrial de Chapelaria, the visitor will discover the wonderful chromatic circle that will allow him to create his own colour catalogue.

THE GEOMETRY OF THE MACHINES

THE GEOMETRY OF THE MACHINES

With rectangles, triangles, diamonds and many other geometric shapes, we can build  curious machines.
In this workshop, the visitors are challenged to (de)construct mentally a machine into several small pieces. Afterwards, they will be asked to combine different shapes and colours in order to (re)build that same machine… or maybe not!

HATS WITH PERSONALITY

HATS WITH PERSONALITY

Who doesn't know the Cook’s hat? And of the Fireman? And what about the hat of the Policeman, the Witch, the Princess or even the sleeper hat? There so many hats that can take us to a dream and fantasy world.
In this activity, each visitor has to choose one hat and embody its personality. Then the group will participate in a funny game... or drama?

3D POSTCARDS

3D POSTCARDS

From the contents of the exhibitions  of the museum, visitors will be challenged to build and decorate 3D postcards that later on can be sent by post office to friends or family.
