Design & Build Workshop with RESOLVE

Join RESOLVE Collective for a hands-on design and build sessions at your local library, where participants of all ages will help create a community art installation using local materials and tools. This workshop is part of the Cultural Reforesting Richmond Arts & Ideas Festival. No experience needed—just bring your creativity! Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

As part of the Cultural Reforesting Richmond Arts & Ideas Festival, RESOLVE Collective’s Tending to the Centres is a collaborative programme and series of site-specific installations that invites local communities to reimagine their relationship with three libraries in Richmond: East Sheen, Ham, and Whitton Library.
