Every year during the fall for one week The Hague turns into THE playground for kids. Around 50 locations participate in offering a wide range of theater and art for kid between the age of 2 and 12.
Our lichtbloem workshop was set up in a theater at the hart of The Hague, around 400 kids joint us and build there own lighting flower. The workshop was commissioned by Play+ART, a very cool company which aims to bring art into the world which can be played with!
We can’t say it was a piece of cake, but we loved it!

lichtbloem@ITGWO 2011 festival
After showing marram (helmgras) at intothegreatwideopen festival last year, i was excited to be part of the most relaxed festival of the summer ones again! The festival is known for it’s broad program, both for adults as for their kids. I was part of a place called the “kids art studio”, a separate area full of Yurt’s (tents) which where used as workshops.
In the evening we gathered with some kids which participated in the workshop for a walk into the dark. Thanks to Jitke Hagen we have some great pictures to remember them by!
