Wonder Workshop.

Plan. Make. Keep.

Wonder Workshop teaches you to design and make things themselves instead of buying them. They plan a piece, measure and cut it, build it, finish it properly, and take home something that could not have come from a shop.

Educational focus: Design, planning and measurement

The making world

Plan. Make.
Keep.

Every make begins with a plan: what is the piece, what materials and tools does it need, and in what order do the steps happen? You sketch the idea, lay out what they need, then build it with their own hands while the coach demonstrates each technique first.

When something does not work, that is the lesson: you spot what went wrong, change one thing, try again, and explain what they fixed. The finished piece is coloured, textured and finished to their own taste, then boxed up to take home.
