May Half-Term: Material Connections
Wednesday 28th – Friday 30th May 2025, 10 am – 4 pm

The big, beautiful “messy one” — we did it!
We stomped in clay, barefoot and smiling. The children had the chance to be spontaneous and free, embracing the unexpected with open hearts. We completely transformed the space using fabric, large-scale paintings, and some wonderfully inventive tools. At the end of the course, one child said, “I don’t want this to end!” — and neither do we.

“Phoebe had such a great time, she was so excited to go every morning. She loved the freedom to be creative and messy and felt very encouraged and supported my Lauren and Abi. The exhibition at the end was so lovely, it was wonderful to see all the children expressing themselves through art and they all seemed so proud of themselves which was the best bit.” – Charlotte Summers, parent
