Dive Into the Octopus’s Garden: A Creative Collage Workshop
Calling all young artists, explorers, and deep-sea dreamers!
Join us for a magical, multi-textured journey to the ocean floor. Inspired by the whimsical world of an 'Octopus’s Garden,' this immersive 1.5 hour workshop invites children aged 4 to 10 to design and build their very own under-the-sea masterpiece.
Children will use mixed-media techniques, combining paints, fabrics and metallic papers to create their own underwater artwork.
What Your Child Will Experience:
• Master the Depth: Paint stunning ocean gradients using blending and sponge techniques.
• Plant the Garden: Use felt, ribbons, and fringed papers to construct flowing 3D coral reefs and kelp forests.
• Meet the Star of the Show: Design a magnificent, textured octopus from their own imagination
• Uncover Hidden Treasures: Add the finishing touches with metallic pens, sequins, and secret garden treasures.
Workshop Details:
• Age Group: 4 to 10 years old
• Duration: 1.5 hour (includes a fully supervised snack and movement break!)
• What’s Included: All art materials, canvases, fabrics, and tools.
• What to Bring: A packed snack, a water bottle, and a sense of adventure! (Please wear old clothes or bring an art smock—creativity can get wonderfully messy!)
Spaces are strictly limited to 12 children to ensure dedicated, individual guidance
