The Wonky Workshop

Step into a world where history, craft, and imagination come together through play.

Inspired by the people, furniture and ethos of the Arts and Crafts Movement, this exhibition reimagines iconic elements of the time as a tactile, child-centred environment encouraging ideas of sharing and cooperation.Soft sculpture forms, bold patterns, and wooden building shapes encourage young visitors to construct, experiment, and invent their own imaginative furniture and structures.

Rooted in the values of the Arts and Crafts movement, the exhibition promotes hands-on making, material awareness, and creative exploration.Through experimental builds, children explore ideas of balance, structure, and design while building confidence and curiosity.

This inclusive space celebrates learning through doing, accessibility, education, and the enduring relevance of craft for even the youngest makers.
