'In our Cool 3D Mini-Universe workshop children will take inspiration from well known stories to make their own characters and fun imaginative worlds for them to live in. They will explore the possibilities of a variety of materials, including clay, and will experiment with surface mark making and texture. Every figure will be an individual interpretation of a character. Their individual worlds will be put together to create a mini universe where one tale leads into the next, making a new story, encouraging imagination and creativity in the process.'
