10:00-3:00 - full day
Age 7-14
Taught by Emma Prentice
Spend a day surrounded by autumn colours, wonderful textures and leafy inspiration as we turn nature’s fallen treasures into art! From the tiniest leaf to the most spectacular shape, we’ll discover how something ordinary can spark extraordinary ideas.
In this hands-on workshop, young artists will explore printing, drawing and mixed media, using autumn leaves as the starting point for a whole day of creativity. We’ll experiment with colourful prints, draw directly onto leaves and fill leafy shapes with playful lines, dots, swirls and patterns. There’ll be time to slow down and enjoy some mindful making, noticing the little details and letting our designs grow.
We’ll also get our hands into soft air-drying clay, exploring how leaves can leave beautiful impressions and inspire small sculptural creations. With so many shapes, textures and materials to investigate, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to try something new and follow our imaginations.
Along the way, we’ll build creative skills in a welcoming, inclusive environment, with the freedom to experiment and enjoy the process. Everyone will create their own collection of autumn-inspired artworks, full of personality and lovely details to admire.
A perfect workshop for curious young artists who love nature, enjoy making and are ready to turn over a wonderfully creative new leaf!
Where will the workshops take place?
At the Beth Morris Workshops studio, The Dairy in the grounds of Insole Court, Cardiff. The children will create together around a large table.
Do they need a packed lunch and snacks?
Yes, they can sit in the workspace outside the studio, and in drier weather on the immediate paved /grassed area by the window. The tutor will be setting up for the next task at lunch so your child will need to be able to entertain themselves and chat with new friends. We cannot allow children to visit the cafe area if they are left in our care, so please supply a packed lunch, and drinks. You could also pick your child up at lunch time if you’d prefer.
Is there a discount for siblings?
Of course. If you are booking more than one child in the same household (siblings) onto a course please use the code WEAREFAMILY to take 10% off your overall in-person workshop booking. Please don’t use the code unless you are booking for siblings though. This is not a code for parents to book 2 friends on. It’s to support families with more than one child attending 😊 This code is only for children’s holiday workshops.
Do I have to adhere to the age guidelines when booking?
Yes please. I have years of teaching experience and I am the Mum of three, so I set the age limits for a reason. The tasks are age appropriate and the children / young people should all feel comfortable with their peers.
My child has additional learning needs - Is the workshop suitable?
We can not offer 1:1 support unfortunately, but if they can work semi-independently with 14 peers, they will love our fun inclusive and relaxed workshops. The tutor will make sure they understand the tasks and support them within the session. On booking, please email info@bethmorrisworkshops.co.uk with any extra information that will help us support your child so we can be fully prepared. You know your child best so please talk to us so we can help.
Does my child need to bring any materials or art supplies?
No, all materials are included in the price of the workshop, just don’t wear your best clothes!
