EXHIBITION

minä perhonen x G8

  • DATES : Thu. August 20 - Fri. September 4, 2015
  • HOURS : 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Open every day. Admission free.
  • * Please note that on the opening day, August 20, the exhibition will be open only to participants in the Kids Workshops and their guardians.

This summer CREATION Gallery G8 will be holding workshops at which visitors can experience the fun of designing and make exciting new discoveries. The program is to be held in collaboration with minä perhonen, a brand that is very popular today for its attractive products that are not influenced by fads, enabling them to be used for many years.

In part 1, on August 20 (Thu) a series of Kids Workshops will take place. Using cloth pieces featuring original minä perhonen patterns, plus buttons, ribbons, etc., young participants will create a stuffed animal of their own design. The gallery will be transformed into a forest inhabited by creatures of all imaginable sorts. These marvelous inhabitants will stay in their forest habitat for the duration of the exhibition.

In part 2, which will continue from August 21 (Fri) through September 4 (Fri), visitors will be able to experience making their own unique minä perhonen items using pieces of original cloth on sale in the gallery. They will have the option of creating their items at the gallery itself, or they can take their sets of cloth home and work where they please.

A selection of minä perhonen goods will also be on sale in the gallery, and graphic tools minä perhonen has used over the years will be on display: invitations, catalogs, etc.

This is sure to be a summer event that will be enjoyed by participants and visitors of all ages.
