Can time melt? Can it run fast, move slowly or stand completely still? This creative workshop warms up for the Children's Literature Festival ALBUS, whose theme this year is time.
Inspired by Salvador Dalí's famous melting clocks, the children make their own quirky, soft and imaginative time-works while talking together about moments, memories, waiting and dreams of the future. The finished artworks will afterwards be exhibited in the library as part of the festival.
- The workshop explores ideas, materials and techniques together, with the emphasis on curiosity, imagination and the joy of making things.
- The theme changes from week to week: some weeks the group builds large shared works for the library, other weeks they work on small details.
- Materials include cardboard, natural materials, paint, textiles and quirky recycled objects. About 90% of the materials are reused.
No experience is needed. The guides provide the framework and inspiration, while the children set the direction, creating a safe and fun community where creativity can grow.
