Albert Portony’s Early Years Atelier was a studio opening out into the park, a space where groups of children were invited to explore a range of open-ended materials according to their own interests.
Potrony developed the Early Years Atelier following his Changing Play residency, a collaboration with children, parents and staff at the Portman Early Childhood Centre in North Westminster.
The Early Years Atelier was designed around the principles of child-initiated play, hands-on experience and collaboration.
Through the Early Years Atelier, we aimed to celebrate and advocate for play in early years’ education.
From the architecture pavilion and digital commissions to the ideas marathon and the General Ecology programme, explore 50 years of artists, projects and exhibitions.
