Fun Palaces
3D paper and card sculptures with sparkle using simple ectronics
Working with children and their families and carers is always a special and fun experience. Recently I supported Domme Ewan (Cable Punks) to facilitate their creative event as part of the Fun Palaces 2025 weekend.
For Cable Punk’s session at LEVEL centre visitors were encouraged to create their own unique cardboard fun palace. At times over the years Domme Ewan has assisted me when running my own AllSensesArt workshops so this time it was so good to be able to give some support back.
These photographs are just a small sample of the wonderful fun palaces that were created on the day.
So much can be done with such simple materials. And the finishing touch was to share some electronics knowledge to add LED lights.

The fun palace movement brings together people of all ages and abilities.
The magical power of imagination and sticky tape!

“A Fun Palace is a free event made by local people for their own community. At Fun Palaces people come together to share their skills, passions and interests, and to show the world just how brilliant and packed full of genius their community is!”
So many carefully made design decisions.
