Fabulous Flower Pots
Thursday 9th April
10.30am – 12.30pm
Let creativity bloom in this colourful, hands-on workshop! In Fabulous Flower Pots, kids will design and decorate their own vibrant flower pot, then create a bunch of bold, playful flowers to fill it. Using a mix of painting, colouring and simple crafting techniques. Bright petals to quirky patterns and fluffy stems, every piece is completely unique. Kids can follow along or let their imagination run wild as they build their own fabulous floral creation.
Patterns & Pots Wall Hanging
Friday 10th April
10.30am – 12.30pm
Let kids get creative with colour, pattern and design in this fun, hands-on workshop! In Patterns & Pots Wall Hanging, kids will create their own unique wall hanging by painting and decorating wooden paddle pop sticks, create panels with bold patterns, then adding colourful mini pots to build a layered, eye-catching piece. They’ll explore simple pattern-making techniques, play with colour combinations and design their own painted pots to complete the look. Step-by-step guidance is provided, but there’s plenty of room for creativity, no two pieces will be the same. By the end of the session, they’ll have a finished wall hanging with their own decorated pots, ready to hang at home or gift to someone special.
Wild Pattern Wall Hanging
Wednesday 15th April
10.30am – 12.30pm
In this session, young makers will design and create their own painted pattern wall hanging using wooden paddle pop sticks and bright, bold designs. Guided step-by-step, they’ll explore simple techniques for building patterns, mixing colours and layering shapes to create something completely unique. By the end of the workshop, they’ll have a finished wall hanging ready to take home and proudly display.
Kaleidocycles & Spiral Spinners
Thursday 16th April
10.30am – 12.30pm
In this fun, hands-on workshop, kids will design and make their own kaleidocycles and spiral spinners, colourful creations that twist, turn and move in surprising ways. Using simple templates and plenty of colour, they’ll explore patterns, shapes and how movement can be built into their designs. It’s part art, part problem-solving and all about the “wow” moment when their creation comes to life.
By the end of the session, they’ll have a set of interactive creations to take home, perfect for fidgeting, showing off, or gifting.
