MATILDA INSPIRED EVENT
Ms. Honey's Cottage Presented by Xuan-An Thai
INSTALLATION IDEA
Imagine entering a flower covered cottage to discover eclectic cozy seating options and a small stage. Each participant is handed an individual ice cream cup and a metal tea spoon. The different tables have ice cream toppings like sprinkles and mochi pillows. As they enjoy their ice cream, a short empowering story is read from the stage. Outside of the cottage, there is a metal stamping station to customize teaspoons to take home as a souvenir.
