At the Docks
Nourish Royal Docks
This workshop is hosted by Nourish London, an organic skincare company in the heart of Newham. All Nourish products are made locally. Founder Dr Pauline Hili and local scientist Zaynab Rashid will lead on a fun-filled ‘making’ workshop.
The workshop is a 4-part workshop for students aged between 8 and 13, with the aim of cultivating an interest in the environment and its relationship to our consumer habits.
Through learning about our environment, the ingredients, analysing packaging and taking part in making their own hand cream, this workshop will start a dialogue about developing goods with sustainability in mind.
The Nourish team will be joined by local creative studio Lunes to understand the role of sustainability in design. The students will then design their own packaging with all they have learned through the workshop.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Commissioned by the Royal Docks Team, At the Docks’ Summer Commissions are 11 projects by creative organisations, local artists and young people, that respond to the theme of sustainability.
