Week 1 - TALKING FORESTS
Did you know that trees can talk to each other? Not with words, but through their roots and the connections they share with fungi, tiny bugs, worms, and microbes. We will learn about the science of the talking trees, how they share food, help friends, and keep their forest family alive and strong. We will also learn a brilliant technique for drawing trees as we imagine the amazing stories that unfold beneath our feet. 

Weeks 2&3 - CREATIVE GLOBES
In this two-week workshop geography, globe-making, and art come together. In week one, you’ll learn the technique of using plaster bandages to build your own globe structure. In week two, you’ll transform the surface into a unique artwork. We will be inspired by the amazing work of artist Anton Thomas who spent three years drawing a map of the world, featuring 1642 wild animals roaming freely. The work that is free of borders and humans just full of wonder. Anton imagined this project since childhood and celebrates the beauty of the wild world that still exists and is here to be loved and cherished. You can see his work here.

Week 4 - DYED CLAY
Using natural pigments made from plants, and minerals, you’ll learn how to tint and stain clay to create subtle, organic hues. We’ll experiment with blending colours, marbling effects, and surface textures. This hands-on session is all about slowing down, observing nature’s palette, and learning how to let the earth colour your art.

Week 5 - NATURAL DYE MAGIC
Extending from the previous term and the previous class we will continue learning about the beautiful colours hidden in nature! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore natural dyeing techniques using leaves, flowers, and other plant materials. Learn how to extract colour from the natural world and use it to create unique patterns on fabric. Every session is a little experiment — we never know exactly what shades or surprises nature will give us! 

Week 6 - GLASS MELTING
Back by popular demand we will pull out our tiny kiln and have fun with glass melting! Learn to manipulate soft melted glass into simple shapes and swirls of colour. Also don’t forget it is the Christmas Arty Party week!!!
