INVENTORS!

This Autumn Dominic Wilcox will be encouraging our Cultural Spring wards to return to their inventing roots. Did you know that self-raising flour, phone boxes and even the light bulb were all created by North East inventors? From October Dominic will be working with schools, community groups and the public across the Cultural Spring wards to inspire as many new Inventors! as possible.

A selection of these inventions and designs will then be chosen by Dominic and a panel of local makers, expert trades people and manufacturers to be made in to real life inventions that will feature in a special exhibition.

How to get involved with Inventors!
Schools:
Between 2 – 6 November Dominic will be visiting schools in our wards, armed with his own wacky inventions and the ideas and tools to inspire your very own classroom of inventors.

Half Term Workshops:

Bring your budding inventors along to one of our fun, half term drawing workshops and their ideas could be realised and feature in an exhibition alongside Dominic Wilcox’s work.
