Monday–Friday, 16–20 February | 10am–3pm | Drop-in

Join us for our much-loved Junk Modelling Art Buffet — a relaxed, family-friendly making space where everyday “junk” becomes something brilliant.

Drop in any time between 10am and 3pm and build your own quirky character, curious creature, flying thing, or mini scene. Choose a prompt (or ignore it and follow your own idea), pick from the modelling “buffet”, and get stuck in. No pressure, no perfection — just hands-on creativity and plenty of cheerful problem-solving.

You’re welcome to take your creation home… or add it to our growing Cabinet of Curious Creations community display.

What to expect

• Drop in at any time (stay 10 minutes or settle in for longer)

• Volunteer-led and warmly hosted

• All core materials provided: cardboard, tubes, tape, collage bits, faces, labels and more

• A simple, welcoming set-up that works for children, families, and adults too

Good to know

• No booking needed

• Suitable for families (children must be supervised by an adult)

• Space is available on a first-come basis — if it’s busy, you may be asked to wait a moment for a table

Junk donations welcome

If you have any clean, dry junk modelling items at home, we’d be delighted to give them a second life. Great donations include:

• cereal boxes, small cardboard boxes, tubes

• egg cartons, clean yoghurt pots, bottle tops, corks

• ribbon/string, fabric offcuts, wrapping paper scraps, bubble wrap

• buttons and other safe “treasure” for detailing
