Dressing up

We can arrange tutors for whole days on art and craft themes such as:

  • Drawing & painting wildlife
  • Working with hedgerow shrubs, willow & rush
  • Dying with natural dyes, spinning & felt-making
  • Hedgerow basket making
  • Art-in-nature creations and installations (Goldsworthy style)

However, usually art and craft activities are woven into other themed days doing the following for example:

  • Simple cone-basket making
  • Building bird nests
  • Hazel whittling
  • Drawing & painting insects and flowers
  • Leaf rubbing
  • Leaf sewing
  • Lantern-making (with poetry performance)
  • Meadows in a matchbox
  • Pixie & fairy garlands
  • Toadstool spore prints
  • Nature’s palette
