Sensory-Friendly Workshops: Traces (Ages 0–3)

 

In the workshop room, we’ll become attentive explorers. What kinds of traces can a person leave on a sheet of paper or on canvas? We’ll examine handprints and fingerprints. We’ll think about what else we can use. We’ll explore the patterns left by the tools we readily reach for every day: brushes or soft rollers. We’ll also discover that marks can be created by subtraction—wiping away paint and peeling off tape. We’ll experience firsthand what happens when we work very quickly, and what happens when we create slowly and with deep concentration.

 

We’ll seek answers to all these questions using our senses—above all, through safe touch and free movement!

We’ll conduct our classes at a very calm, flexible pace. We’ll tailor everything precisely to the current needs, moods, and natural rhythms of our little participants. We’ll ensure a completely safe and supportive atmosphere. We want not only to have a great time, but above all to naturally stimulate the children’s sensory and motor development. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to build a beautiful, close bond between you and your children in the new MSN space, which is great for sparking the imagination!

We strongly recommend bringing a change of clothes—for both children and adults!

Your workshop ticket grants you access to the exhibition (up to 3 hours after the workshop ends).
