Pro-TECH-tion Charms: Creative Drop-In Workshop
Looking for a fun, free creative activity for half term?
Drop-in to Henry Moore Institute for a hands-on family workshop Pro-TECH-tion Charms, linked to their new exhibition Phantasmagoria: Folkloric Sculpture for the Digital Age.
You’ll create your own modern folklore talismans using fragments of broken and obsolete digital hardware. Think circuit boards, wires and components – transformed into personal artefacts filled with meaning, memory and a touch of magic.
Guided by playful prompts, you’ll explore storytelling and make a talisman or charm… could it detect bots, ward off evil viruses or protect you from trolls? Children and grown-ups alike are encouraged to collaborate, experiment and leave with a unique object that tells a story.
In the spirit of sustainability and to add your own history and lore, you’re warmly invited to bring along small pieces of unwanted or obsolete technology from home (old cables, keyboards, phones, etc) to use in your creation.
Suitable for families and children aged 5+, drop in any time on Thursday 28 May 2026 between 10:30 and 15:30.
