Overview
About the opportunity
In The Making is a two-hour creative education workshop, led by our rotating team of creatives known as Inspirers here at Heatherwick Studio. The session is all about inspiring young people to see themselves as creative thinkers and problem-solvers. We start with an interactive presentation that shares some of Heatherwick's global projects. It encourages the group to ask questions like “why?” and “what if?” and shows how collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just one person behind the work, but a team coming together to make something amazing. After that, we take the group on a tour of our studio space. They’ll get to see our in-house models, explore the archive and materials library and ask more detailed questions to our Inspirers. Then it’s time to get hands-on. The group splits into smaller teams and is given a simple design brief to build a structure using minimal materials. This activity is all about teamwork and seeing how people naturally collaborate. At the end, each team presents their design to the rest of the group. We wrap up the session by sharing some of our own journeys into the creative world. Our Inspirers talk about where they’ve come from, the different routes they’ve taken, and how there’s no single path into a creative career. We’re incredibly proud of the programme, which turns three this October. It’s powered by a dedicated team of Inspirers who have received in-depth youth facilitation training and are always striving to grow, improve, and make each session better than the last.Contact the company about this opportunity
