At this hands-on workshop and evolving art installation, you're invited to build, play and connect with nature – through mud.

Inspired by ancient building practices, you’ll get to work with cob – a squishy, sculptable mix of earth, sand, water and straw that’s fun to play with and kind to the planet.

Sculpt giant mud creatures, engineer a tiny cob house, or just enjoy the simple joy of squishing earth through your fingers. Add your creations to the growing cob metropolis, race handmade earth balls through a mini obstacle course, or design your own muddy masterpiece.

Led by a team of artists, architects and sculptors with a passion for sustainability and community art, Earth Children is a playful space where imagination and curiosity run wild and mess is absolutely encouraged, but not required!

Come get gloriously muddy these school holidays.

This free event is presented as part of RESET: a free festival for greener living at Fed Square.
