Shrink can for small and large hands
Course for children and adult security personnel
15-16 July 2025
Part of Capellagården's summer course program is aimed at children who want to take a creative course together with an adult security person. A security person can be a parent, mother/grandparent or other important adult in the child's life. The course emphasizes playfulness, curiosity and creative joy and is aimed at both children and adults. The child's process is in focus and the adult participates in the course on the child's terms.
During two days, we will dive into the world of craftsmanship and test different craftsmanship, gain knowledge about fresh wood and safe handling of sharp tools. Briefings will be interspersed with practical work, where each participant receives individual guidance and space for personal creation. The focus will be on the creation of a shrink jar, which is an inspiring and challenging project for both children and adults, regardless of previous experience in crafts.
The course runs over two days from 9 am to 3 pm with joint breaks for coffee and lunch.
Recommended age of the child is 10 to 16 years.
No prior knowledge is required.
Course fee
The course fee is SEK 2,700 for a child and an adult.
Lunch, light refreshments and materials are included in the course fee.
If Capellagården has to cancel the course, you always have the right to get back the course fee you have paid. If you need to withdraw your offer due to obstacles or illness, a refund will be made with 50% of the course fee.
