Create Your Heart for the Future: A Kids’ Clay Workshop
Romulus Folio Gallery is excited to present a hands-on, imaginative workshop for children, combining creativity, reflection, and community engagement. As part of our year-end programming leading into the exhibition Transitions: Metamorphosis of the Moment, this workshop invites young participants to explore their aspirations and craft a meaningful artistic object for their future selves.
In this workshop, children will work with vibrant air-dry clay to create personalised hearts—symbols of hope, imagination, and self-reflection. Each heart represents who they want to be when they grow up and what they want their life to look like. Through this process, participants engage in both creative thinking and emotional expression, developing a tangible connection to their future ambitions.
Exhibition Integration:
All hearts created during the workshop will be displayed in our gallery, suspended around the central gallery pole as part of Transitions: Metamorphosis of the Moment (5 December 2025 – 25 January 2026). This immersive installation transforms individual artworks into a collective celebration of young creativity, connecting the community and gallery audiences to the next generation of creative voices.
