SUMMARY:Old Buildings\, New Ideas! March Break Camp
DESCRIPTION:This March Break come learn about the previous uses of the Custom House\, the Workers Arts & Heritage Centre’s home\, which was built before Canada was even a country! Find out what types of workers inhabited this amazing space\, and contribute your own ideas and imagination to bring this building’s colorful history of work\, play and art to life! \nMonday\, March 14     Art\, Museums and Community with Cornelia Peckart \nWhat type of work is done at a museum? How do museums engage members of their community? What is workers art\, and what is workers heritage? Kids will learn what it takes to make an exhibition\, and will make collaborative banners about things that are important to them. They will also learn some of the many past uses of Custom House\, WAHC’s impressive home. \nTuesday\, March 15th    Make\, Taste\, Create! with Cornelia Peckart and Donna Akrey \nCustom House served as a pasta\, vinegar and donut factory over different periods in history that employed people Hamilton’s North End neighbourhood. Join us for a day of local history and food-inspired creation! \nWednesday\, March 16th     Building an Ambitious City with Donna Akrey \nWhat does it take to make a building a productive space? Kids will share their ideas about cities\, buildings and architecture\, and explore hand production that mirrors the work that so many people in our city do every day. Through collaborative art-making inspired by assembly lines\, kids will create an installation using simple casting processes. \nThursday\, March 17th     Historic Roleplaying at the Custom House with Jody Boston\n \nThe Workers Arts & Heritage Centre makes its home in an amazing stone building built before Canada was even a country.
