We are delighted to announce our first children's art workshop of 2011... The Lost Mess Monster Day!

Cork Environmental Forum return to Lifetime Lab on Saturday May 14th for the first in a series of childrens workshops based around environmental themes.Jessica Mason will help a lucky group of children create a fabulous monster installation out of common household waste. The resulting 'Lost Mess Monster' will mysteriously appear in a number of locations throughout city and county through the summer.

Workshops places are free and suitable for children aged 7 upwards and run from 12.00-1500.Registration is neccesary as places are limited, to register click http://www.cef.ie/2011/lostmessmonster.php 

To participate we will need you to raid your rubbish bins for as much of the following as you can to bring with you on the day:

• silver lined juice cartons (washed and squashed)
• bubble wrap
• colourful plastic wrappers (the bigger the better)
• briquette twine
• fruit nets
• Old tights (the more colourful the better)

Imporant Info

This is a free workshop for children aged 7 and up. Places are limited so please register your children using the link above. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis and once we have received your application we will confirm by email if a place is available. Parents are very welcome to stay with the children on the day.

In 2010 CEF held a series of fanstastic children's art workshops at the Lifetime Lab - most recently in December when 60 kids got to turn some of what was in their rubbish bins into Christmas decorations. Thanks to Jessica, now we all know how to make the cheapest, most beautiful and least wasteful decorations yet!
