Great Exhibition Road Festival: The Circulation Department photo
Fancy wearing a sculpture on your head?! Join artist Gayle Chong Kwan to create your own wearable art inspired by recycling. 

Use images from the V&A, recycled packaging, and add colours to make your art. Get inspired by Gayle’s work, the artists and makers in the museum and the festival. Then become part of our moving exhibition as you wear your creations around the Great Exhibition Road Festival!

Please note: this drop-in is part of the Great Exhibition Road Festival and will take place just outside the entrance of the museum on Exhibition Road.  In case of wet weather the drop-in will take place indoors in the Lunchroom 1, Level 0 of the V&A Learning Centre.
 
This event is for children and their adults to enjoy together. No child can be left unattended. Suitable for ages 5+. The capacity for the activity will be limited and on a first-come-first served basis.
