* UPDATE *
OFFCUT has moved to a large warehouse in Dreispitz. This is a less kid friendly location than the previous one at Aktienmuehle as it is no longer next to a play area. However, I still recommend a trip to let kids explore all the unusual materials found in this wonderful shop. Any kid who has an imagination to create or craft will enjoy hunting for treasures in the Offcut shop.
In 2016 Offcut now offers workshops for kids ages 7-12. Their STUDIO KIDS-Material Workshops are typically held on Saturday afternoons. Topics vary but include fun hands on artistic activities such as stamp & stencil craft, creating memory game tiles from cementing over recycled objects, and many more. Follow the link to their up to date program. * DESCRIPTION *
If you have a creative child who loves to craft, build, tinker, be artistic then Offcut is wonderfully inspiring little shop to visit. Located in a large warehouse you find this shop which collects and sells ordinary and unusual used materials, production scraps, used tools, electronics, and many more inspiring for any kind of artist big or small. Their philosophy is to turn waste back into creative stuff!
I took my son here and let him wander the shop collecting bits and pieces to use to build a robot. It was fun for him and a nice way to support a great local organization with such a positive philosophy. |
