This holiday artist duo WABKIN invite you to MAKE MYTH, creating your own monster out of collected materials. Explore mythologies and making through your ideas and the stories that inspire you.
Using scraps, collage and mark making, you can create your monster. Design its features and think about its character or personal history. Once you are done, you can add it to the wall to join the other monsters or wear it round the galleries. You can see the monster costumes hanging in the space that were created by the artists while they were here in February.
Have fun exploring the galleries at Tate St Ives with our Explorer Backpacks and Tate Shapes activities or draw and explore with a free Sketchbook or Art Explorer card.
WABKIN
Frances Daykin and Huhtamaki Wab are WABKIN. With backgrounds encompassing play-work, support-work, creative facilitation, art education and visually based artistic practice, WABKIN situates itself as a multiplicity. A re-weaving of traditional hierarchical values within the art world is reflected through their work at the Plymouth Scrapstore.
Our holiday studio programme creates immersive installations and play-based activities that offer self-directed art experiences for children, parents and carers. Each STUDIO DO responds to the themes and broader art movements of our exhibitions and collection displays, while providing a space to test out making, experiment with ideas and take time out from the galleries. Make, play, rest, and use the studio in your own way to explore art at Tate St Ives.
