Flat Pack Forest with // gyda Abi Palmer

4 July 2026

The Flat-Packed Forest is a playful, collaborative workshop led by artist Abi Palmer, connected to themes in her project Abi Plamer Invents the Weather and the DIY nature of making celebrated in the exhibition, Sbel.

Who is this for: Participants of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. Young children must be accompanied by adults making with them.

Materials: You are invited to bring an object(s) from the outside world. If you have extra cardboard at home, please also bring that with you.

Participants are invited to build a miniature “forest” from found and everyday materials. Working individually or in small groups, simple objects will be transformed into sensory sculptures that suggest trees, pathways, habitats, and hidden corners. Through making and experimenting together, we’ll explore how textures, shapes, and arrangements can create the feeling of a forest indoors.
