Come along and create a ‘Shelter of Care’ using coconuts, bamboo, stones and other organic materials. You will learn effective sculptural techniques to construct your own shelter with sustainable natural materials. At the end, you’ll be able to take your shelter home—and install it indoors or outdoors so it can nurture and protect an imaginary, found or living being or object of your choice!
