Workshop: Finding, Making And Returning Natural Treasures

This workshop invites kids on a journey to uncover treasures hidden in nature and collaborate to make new treasure inspired by their findings. Together they will merge the essence of nature's treasures with creative expression.

The workshop is run by author of "Finding Grace | Kimihia a Grace", Emma Hinton. Emma will read the book during the workshop to help kids dive into their imagination. Then they will explore the park for fallen treasures that they can then use as a group to make a piece of art, before returning it to the land, celebrating the cycles of life and interconnectedness. Let's make art together with nature!

This workshop is for children ages 7+ and their caregivers. Registration is essential and numbers are limited. Visit our website for more information and how to register or email [email protected]. Let us know if you have any accessibility requirements.

Part of this workshop will involve foraging outdoors if weather permits. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear.
