School Workshops: Blended Notes 10 - 13 Jun 2025

Join musician and artist Dafe Orugbo for a playful and energising creative writing workshop where kids will explore their voice and imagination through music.

After a visit to Voyages, the exhibition featuring artworks from The Ark’s collection (co-curated by children!), Dafe will guide children through rhyming games, lyric writing, and fun creative challenges.

From freestyle wordplay to musical storytelling, children will explore the rhythm of language and the power of their own voices. Whether they love music, poetry, art, or just having fun with words, this workshop is a space for young minds to let your creativity run wild!
