Bottle Rockets (CSC267)

Become an astronaut of art, make your own space rocket from a plastic drinks bottle and launch it into space!

What will you learn on this course?

This workshop is your chance to become an astronaut of art by making your own space rocket from a plastic drinks bottle. You will decorate your rocket with lots of colourful crafty materials and make sci-fi accessories to go with it. What will you need on your space adventure? A space pack? Some space boots? Maybe a light sabre?

Children will learn a variety of craft construction techniques as well as letting their imaginations fly to the stars and everyone will leave with their own unique bottle rocket and accessories.

If good weather permits, children will be able to launch their rockets outside in MAC’s Outdoor Theatre (using a safe bicycle pump).

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for children aged 6 - 11 years. It is open to all ability levels and children don’t need previous experience. Parents are not expected to accompany children on these courses. All our staff are DBS checked.

The course is accessible for children of all abilities who can participate in practical art and craft activities. We provide a learning support worker and a parent or carer may assist their child if required. Carers must book a complimentary ticket if attending a course to provide support. The room is wheelchair accessible.

Age ranges are set carefully to take into account key age developments, materials being used and course stimulus. It is very important that age ranges are not too large or across key stages and therefore need to be adhered to.

Do you need to bring anything?

Children should dress appropriately as some of the visual art workshops can get a bit messy.

Please note that lunch is not provided. Children will need to bring their own lunch to eat on a supervised one-hour break.
