Pixel art is the theme for our Make and Play Engineers sessions during this February half term. Pixel art is used to make characters for computer games. Without using computer screens, explore patterns, contrasts and colours as they would be used in pixel art. Use all our big resources (from carpet tubes to pipes) and build extraordinary creatures that could have escaped from computer games. Find yourself playing with balance, gravity and tension while doing so.  

Let’s play!  

Drop in | Free 
Please ask at Reception for the exact location of the session.  

Designed for age 2 - 8, but all are welcome 

Please note, children must always be accompanied by an adult.
