‘Waterfront Weekends’ Binocular Making Workshops

To accompany the ‘seek + peek’ trail, a series of binocular making workshops were planned during two weekends in August. I was commissioned by V&A Dundee to create a colouring sheet which could be turned into a pair of binoculars using glue. Children created their own colourful designs before using the binoculars to spot different things around the waterfront and museum.

“Come and say hello to our friendly team of designers and guest illustrator Cara Rooney, designer of seek + peek, a playful trail around our waterfront plaza. Together you’ll design and construct your own set of 3D binoculars, ready to explore the plaza! Create and play together, follow new trails and discover all kinds of design around you. This activity is suitable for families of all shapes and sizes to enjoy.”
