- Ways of Cuddling Workshop
- Collaborating partner and artist: Rooftop Institute and IV Chan
- Artist IV Chan believes that simple physical contact such as hugging can create positive energy. This workshop invites adults and children to explore the concepts of empathy, interdependence, and care in Patricia Piccinini’s hyperrealistic but surreal artworks. Through role play, adults and children gain a new understanding of the body and make extraordinary ‘one-minute sculptures’ with their bodies, props, and soft toys!

- Body-Sprouting Workshop
- Collaborating artist: MUDWORK
- Humanity is inseparable from nature. Through her anthropomorphic sculptures, Patricia Piccinini explores the blurred boundaries between human beings and other animal species, and the boundaries between humans and nature. These artworks imagine life forms in unexpected ways and encourage us to envision a sustainable future beginning with birth. This artist-led workshop invites adults and children to mould a certain part of their bodies into unique clay sculptures for potted plants. Each clay sculpture will be mixed with seeds to grow unexpected results.

Reviews
The workshop was fun and interactive. The instructors were very helpful in explaining how to get it done. A bit rush in terms of time. Would have taken a little bit more time to wait for the material to dry up. If the guided tour can be a little bit longer would be nicer. Will definitely join for another workshop again. Highly recommended.
Engaging and inspiring workshop. Instructors were massively helpful and patient with kids. Overall a memorable experience.
The children are very happy. After getting to know different exhibits, they can make their favorite works, good.
It's a very special event. It's an interesting experience to use your own nose to make a mold and then make a clay nose with the children.
Before the workshop, colleagues from Tai Kwun only introduced three exhibits to everyone, which was a little short. But this workshop is just like for children to play, it is very interesting.
Passionate tutor and nice pops and interactive without crowds
