Kids Workshop: Creative Sound with Soundhoppers*
1.30pm – 3pm
The Markfield Project, Markfield Park, London N15 4QF
soundhoppers.com
SoundHoppers is a sound exploration and attentive listening workshop for children aged 5-11.
They use a series of gamified listening exercises to explore various aspects of sound – whether that’s proximity (how far or close a sound is), timbre (the tonality and type of sound), or volume (how loud or quiet a sound is).
Children are given access to specially constructed soundboxes, transducers and other sound-generating devices to explore how sound travels through various materials and objects, and how people experience sound differently.
Delivered by Modus Arts.
Modus Arts draw on interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to developing public-facing sound-based artworks and events. In 2023 they became a National Portfolio Organisation with Arts Council England.
*This is a limited capacity event. Ticket holders will be prioritised.

10am – 12pm
with Beatriz de Melo Belfrage
Markfield Park Cafe, Markfield Park, London, N15 4RB
A pottery class for children aged 5 – 12 working with terracotta and coloured slips to handbuild symbols from cultures around the globe symbolising peace and love. From the Chinese ying yang, to the North African “khamsa” – or hand of Fatima, to the Turkish “nazar” – or the evil eye, children will be encouraged to explore these beautiful, ancient symbols through their own creative interpretation of them in clay.
This is a free class, however parents can choose to have their child’s piece glazed and fired for a fixed sum of £5 per piece. Pieces will be available for collection 2 weeks after the class, with parents needing to collect or arrange collection from the pottery studio on Markfield rd. If parents do not want to pay the £5, they can take the piece with them to air dry at home, however as this work is meant to be glazed and fired it will be fragile and the colours will be dim.
*This is a limited capacity event. Ticket holders will be prioritised.
