MAKE-SHIFT: Afterschool Design + Build Club

About MAKE-SHIFT
MAKE-SHIFT returns this spring for a 6-week afterschool design and build club where children create new structures for the Commons.

Through hands-on STEAM workshops, participants design and build large-scale projects together, exploring ideas of place, community and the spaces we share. The programme brings together architecture, engineering and creative problem-solving in a supportive and collaborative environment.

About PLYSU
PLYSU is a London-based collective of artists, architects and designers. We run material-led workshops that encourage young people to experiment, build and collaborate at full scale. Our projects invite participants to move beyond making objects and start shaping the spaces around them.

Event details
Venue: Clapton Commons, 1 Clapton Terrace, London E5 9BW
Dates: Tuesdays, 14 April – 19 May (6 sessions)
Time: 4–5pm
Age group: Children aged 6–14

Arrival and drop-off
This is a drop-off afterschool club. Doors open from 3:30pm. The session runs 4–5pm in the main workshop room. Parents are welcome to stay in the adjacent room if they’d like to work or wait nearby.

Booking
The club is free to attend, but we ask for a £10 refundable deposit to hold your place. This will be returned after the first session. As places are limited, this helps ensure spaces are used.

MAKE-SHIFT is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, enabling us to offer the club free of charge to local children.
