What to expect:
Our pop-up Creativity LAB comes to you — indoors, at a museum, or outdoors at your festival — with magical vintage suitcases full of inspiring objects. We help deepen bonds and fire up imaginations through creative play, with room to slow down and follow your curiosity.
Choose one of our two Creativity LABs below, or tell us your ideas and we'll design something bespoke.
Sculptural, wearable, playful — turn everyday materials into something extraordinary. A favourite at Lollapalooza, Berlinische Galerie, and corporate family days alike. Full details below.

Option 1:
The Imagination LAB
Let your imagination come out to play as we unpack our magical suitcases, bursting with colourful bric-a-brac and joiners. Designed to ignite your creative sparks and imagine and invent whatever can be discovered! From wild and wacky fashion items to body sculptures, genius inventions to hilarious hats, we work without cookie-cutter templates and encourage playful curiosity to think a little more crazily, and have lots of fun and laughter connecting with your family and friends! During the process, we gently support participants as they make their own upcycled creations. We draw inspiration from everyday items and reclaimed pieces. We may end the LAB with a spontaneous exhibition or mini fashion show! Everyone gets to take home their unique wearable art or other extraordinary creations, or recycles it back to the suitcases. Can be gently themed by colour eg Christmas seasonal, without the pressure to make specific traditional crafts.
