About this event

Join Minecraft artist and digital producer Adam Clarke, aka Wizard Keen, to conjure your own magical creature and watch it cross over from the real world into Minecraft!

First, we’ll explore our exhibition Phantasmagoria: Folkloric Sculpture for the Digital Age to meet the strange creatures and magical beasts in our galleries.

Then we’ll head upstairs to get making. Using everyday materials, you’ll craft your own monster, beast, or fantastical being as weird and wonderful as you can imagine. Each creation will then be 3D scanned and transformed, voxel by voxel, into a Minecraft sculpture.

After the workshop, your creature will take up residence in a brand-new Sculpture Park in Minecraft – a shared world you can visit, explore, and show off to your friends.

Tickets

This workshop is designed for families with children aged 7+. Creativity has no age limit, so adults are encouraged to make too!

Tickets for this workshop are free, but please book in advance as places are limited. Please book tickets for all adults and children in your group.

We’re running two sessions for this event, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Both sessions feature the same content, so please only book for one.

Children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop.

If you’d prefer to book over the phone, please call us on +44 (0)1132 467 467.
