Two-day holiday workshop

In our nature lab, nature becomes our studio! Together, we discover how colorful the plant world really is: we make our own colors from leaves, flowers, and roots and experiment with various natural materials.
Using sticks, stones, leaves, and everything else we find outside, we will create imaginative works of art—sometimes wild, sometimes delicate, but always unique! In the process, the children will learn in a playful way how much creativity nature has to offer and how we can use it mindfully.

Upcoming dates:

16/07–17/07 (2-day holiday workshop)
10 am–1 pm

Please bring weatherproof clothing, a water bottle, and a small snack.
