If you've ever been to one of the V&A's Village Fêtes, you'll know what a trasnformation the museum gets and how much fun these events are.
Well, you're in for treat, because this year is the inaugural V&A Summer Camp. Taking all the best elements from the Village Fête, the Summer Camp boasts workshops, talks, performances and loads of other events for you to get involved in.
The idea of the Summer Camp is to promote resourcefulness – sort of creativity in the climate of change, our very own ethos here at Amelia's Magazine. There'll be new, creative and exciting ways to play, make and repair, and swap skills with likeminded creative peeps.
For example, designers Peter Marigold and Markus Bergstrom will be on hand to advise how to revamp tired furniture – whilst artist and toymaker Tony Hayward will hold toy-making workshops. Brilliant!
There's too much going on at this damn fabulous event to mention, but as a taster there'll also be typography workshops, crafts, art repair classes, ghost stories, clog dancing, cocktails, a ceilidh, costume workshops… yiiiikes!
To top it off, there'll be a special sleepover at the Serpentine Gallery for artistic insomniacs (so not really a sleepover at all, as events are scheduled through the small hours!). You can find out more about that here.
For more information visit the V&A website here. It's all FREE but some events will be ticketed so get there early!
As this is a BRAND new event, there isn't much to picture – so here's a picture of me having a whale of a time and camping it up with Jesus at the V&A Village Fête a couple of years ago…
