Little Makers

Little Makers - Teddy Bear's Picnic! Our School Holiday sessions are a slightly slower, more immersive version of our Little Makers weekly creative hours. These workshops still leave plenty of room for kid inspired creativity, but each one is built around a beautiful central idea — giving kids something to explore, interpret, and make their own. We guide them through techniques and materials, but there’s always space for their personality to shine through. ------ Pack your teddy and join usRead More

Step into the jungle with Little Artists Inspired by the magical paintings of Henri Rousseau, children aged 7–12 will create their own jungle 3D artwork filled with towering leaves, curious creatures, hidden animals and imaginary landscapes. Rousseau was famous for painting wild, dreamlike jungles, despite never actually visiting one. Instead, he used his imagination to create worlds full of colour, mystery and adventure — and that's exactly what we'll be doing at Little Makers. Using paint, collage and mixed materials,Read More

This week at Little Artists we're stepping into a world of castles, kingdoms and imagination. Inspired by the colourful castle paintings of artist Paul Klee and Mary Blair, children aged 7–12 will design and build their own magical kingdom collages using colourful paper, paint, stamping, recycled materials and plenty of creativity. There are no instructions to follow and no right or wrong way to create. Just a table full of materials, a big dose of inspiration and the freedom toRead More

School holidays mean we have a little more time to make something fabulous. Kids Studio workshops start with an idea — then we give kids the materials, show them a few tricks and let their imaginations take over. This time, we’re making glowing paper lanterns. Start with a plain lantern and completely transform it. Layer it with tissue and patterned papers. Cut, tear, collage and play with colour. Then add long trailing ribbons and fabric before popping a little lightRead More

Fairy Garden Morning is all about magic, tiny treasures and the joy of making something special. We’ll be creating recycled fairy dolls, decorating wands, filling tiny potion bottles and making our own glowing mason jar fairy gardens. There’ll be plenty of beautiful bits and pieces to fossick through — glitter and tiny mushrooms, flowers and beads, soft tulle, ribbons, butterfly wings and all sorts of miniature treasures. They can choose what catches their eye, mix things together and add allRead More

There’s something lovely about making the decorations that come out every Christmas — and this time we’re making one for the front door. Our Little Makers and their big people will each create a Christmas wreath together, choosing all the bits and pieces that make it feel like theirs. We’ll have tables full of ribbon, tinsel, baubles, bells, bows, pom poms, greenery, sparkly things and plenty more to twist, tie, layer and decorate with. Traditional Christmas, bright and colourful, completelyRead More

A whole day for mess, making and creative chaos for ages 3-10! No instructions. No perfect finished project. Just loads of things to squish, stamp, build, mix, splatter and play with. We’re filling Lumina with: The Ice Cream Station — playdough scoops, toppings, sprinkles and ridiculous creations. Messy Art — fingers, stamps, paint and plenty of permission to make a mess. The Mad Scientist — mix it, fizz it, watch it bubble and see what happens. The Cardboard Box City —Read More

There’s something pretty special about handmade Christmas decorations — the ones that get carefully packed away, then pulled out again year after year and put straight back on the tree. We’re adding another layer to that joy by making them together. Little Makers and their big people, sitting around the table, choosing bits and pieces, making a mess and creating decorations that become part of their family Christmas. We’ll be making Christmas decorations from clay, felt, paper, tinsel, ribbon andRead More
