A summary
Join us for a hands-on, imagination-fuelled workshop where YOU get to design your own game world. Ideal for the neurodiverse, this workshop will get your creative juices flowing. ✨ Using drawing, paper modelling, and your unique creativity, we’ll explore the amazing art of world-building — just like in your favourite video games! ✨ Inspired by the work of artists Jesse Ajilore and Hardeep Pandhal, we’ll think outside the box and create 3D environments, characters, and stories — then bring them to life in a game we’ll play together. What to expect: Build your own 3D paper game world Learn how artists turn big ideas into powerful stories Design characters, landscapes, and missions Make friends, have fun, and play the game you help create! This workshop is designed to be a relaxed, welcoming, and supportive space. All materials are provided, and no experience is needed — just bring your imagination! This event is for members of the neurodiverse community and will be facilitated by trained professionals in a safe, inclusive environment designed to support a range of sensory and cognitive needs. We do not provide one to one but if a young person needs to join with a carer, carers are welcome. Do you want a chat in advance to talk about your young person's needs? Call Michael on Tuesday and Friday between 9:30am and 2:00pm on +44 (0)20 8051 6668 or 07428 648710
