Make your own museum in a box | TRIBUTE workshop

Create your own miniature "museum in a box" with a hands-on workshop for adults led by Perdita Phillips, inspired by ideas of collecting, storytelling and the natural world.

Drawing inspiration from Phillips’ artwork Joondakammer: A Cabinet of Curiosity for Joondalup, participants will transform every day and found objects into personal collections and imaginative assemblages. Using natural materials, recycled objects and treasured small items, these workshops invite participants to slow down, observe closely and create their own tiny cabinet of curiosities.

No experience is required and all materials will be supplied, including natural and recycled objects to work with during the session. Participants are also welcome to bring along their own small items such as shells, feathers, dried leaves, stones, buttons, photos or other meaningful objects to include in their work.

Workshop suitable for ages 16+.

Light refreshments will be provided. Please advise of any dietary requirements when booking.
