Nature Makers - Samford
Monday 6th July | 9-3pm | Snacks Provided | Visual Arts workshop included
A full-day holiday workshop for children aged 7-12 who love to create, explore, and discover through art and drama.
Children will step into nature as both their studio and stage, using the landscape around them as inspiration for creative play, storytelling, and making. Through drama games, outdoor challenges, and collaboration, they’ll explore how their bodies, voices, and ideas come alive in open spaces. They’ll also design and build winter cubbies using our special Playkit.
A highlight is a 1.5-hour visual arts workshop with artist Kay Watanabe, exploring printmaking and drawing in nature, encouraging children to look closely at the patterns, textures, and rhythms of the natural world.
Nature Makers is a joyful, unhurried day that weaves together visual art, drama, and nature.
