Last week we had the pleasure of hosting another creative workshop with the wonderful mamas Project MAMA 💛

Together we celebrated the beauty of our native wildflowers by creating delicate tissue paper wreaths inspired by Oxeye Daisies, Field Poppies, Cow Parsley and Red Campion. Using simple paper-folding techniques, everyone crafted beautifully textured blooms before arranging them into unique wreaths to take home.

These sessions are always about so much more than making something beautiful. They’re a chance to connect, unwind, share stories and enjoy the process of creating together.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, we’re already looking forward to the next one. 🌸✨

Our magnetic wall is still inspiring so much playful experimentation at .createandplay 🙌✨

Every new configuration sparks curiosity and creativity. And in between all the making, there’s always time for play. 💛

Leaf printing at Kids Art Club 🌿🍃

A little look behind the scenes at the process and the beautiful finished clay pieces we’ve been creating over the last two weeks. The children explored pressing leaves, grasses and seed heads into clay to capture all the incredible textures and patterns found in nature.

It’s also the perfect time of year to head outside and collect a wonderful variety of leaves, grasses and seeds, you never know what treasures you’ll find! 🍂

We love helping children slow down, look closely and turn everyday natural finds into something truly special.

Art Club at Henleaze Infant School and we’ve already had so much fun exploring the natural world through creativity!

Our Reception to Year 2 artists have been observing, creating, experimenting, and getting inspired by nature through a range of hands-on art activities. From exploring colours, textures, plants, and wildlife to developing their artistic skills and imagination, it’s been wonderful to see their confidence and creativity grow each week.

Led by experienced teachers, our clubs encourage children to connect with nature, express themselves creatively, and enjoy the process of making and discovering together.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the term brings! 🍃✨

✨ A morning filled with creativity, connection, and plenty of smiles. 🐦💛

At today’s Family Art Workshop, we made beautiful little garden birds and loved seeing families creating together across generations. It was especially wonderful to welcome so many grandparents alongside their children and grandchildren.

These sessions remind us how powerful creativity can be in bringing people together, sparking conversations, and creating lasting memories.

Here’s a little glimpse of what we got up to today ✨

We can’t wait to see you at the next one!

📅 Family Art Workshops take place on the first Saturday of every month at Goldfinch.
