It’s Nice That and the LEGO® Group have once again joined forces to champion creativity and play through an exciting experiential event, Inner Piece – a tranquil, communal pop-up space where you can build your happy place.
Following the success and popularity of their partnership last year, which saw thousands of Londoners step into The LEGO® Piece Garden installation, they have returned with an equally immersive experience. The event will once again give visitors a chance to get hands-on with the LEGO Botanical Collection of floral creations, but this time there will also be a space dedicated to further collections from the LEGO Adults Welcome range, promising something for everyone.
For those looking to roll their sleeves up and get hands-on, there will be two workshops to choose from:
The first option is a Meditative Flower Making workshop, which will be led by experienced LEGO guides and will see visitors use the LEGO Botanical range to design and build their own beautiful flowers and plants. Once finished, the personalised blossoms will be collected and added to the centrepiece of the entire event: the Happy Place Dreamscape. Created by María Medem, this large-scale artwork will be the ultimate embodiment of happiness and tranquillity, drawing inspiration from the artist’s own happy place and providing a point of connection for others. In front of the captivating artwork will be a communal flower bed, in which the flowers from the workshop will be planted, resulting in a colourful, collaborative garden.
The second option will be the Happy Prints workshop, which has been designed and developed by everyone’s favourite Brighton-based illustrator and printmaker, Laurie Avon, who is known for his mastery of printing techniques and his playful style. Attendees will be guided through a printing session in which they will be asked to imagine their own Happy Place. Starting with a blank worksheet, some instructions and a prompt card, they will be taken through the process step by step by an instructor and assistants, first creating their design on the baseplate before printing it using ink. Each attendee will have the chance to hang one final print up in the space, to inspire the next group of participants, and will be able to take another print home with them.
When: 7th - 13th October 2024
Where: 37 Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8DR
