Explore 8-bit inspired pixel art during this exciting creative day for kids aged 9 to 12.

Pixel art, also known as 8-bit art, is a term used to describe a style of graphics associated with video games from the 1980s and early 1990s. In those days, computer games and animations were limited to 8-bit (or 2 colours) back when computers were not as powerful as they are today. Minecraft is an example of graphics that are inspired by 8-bit computer art.

Our young participants will have the opportunity to craft their very own pixel-art masterpiece using the creative tools Piskel and Adobe Illustrator. Once your unique design is ready, we'll use a state-of-the-art laser cutter to bring it to life as a keyring or badge. We'll also dive into the exciting world of analogue printmaking, where you'll have the chance to make stickers and prints using your one-of-a-kind design. Get ready for a day filled with pixelated creativity and fun!

What you'll learn

This workshop is a fun introduction to enjoy using both digital and analogue technologies in our fully equipped Makerspace. Our experienced facilitators will be on hand to guide you through the space and its equipment.
