Celebrate the colours and energy of spring by creating bright, textured prints using recycled materials and handmade stamps.

Children will experiment with pattern, colour and printmaking techniques to produce vibrant artworks inspired by the season.

As with every day at the camp, children will take part in the guided printmaking activity and will also have time to explore a range of additional creative art activities available throughout the studio.

A joyful and messy creative session to end the week of art camp.

A drink and fresh fruit will be provided.

Drop-Off, Collection & Important Information

This is a drop-off session. Parents or carers are welcome to bring children to the studio from 8.55am, with the session running 9am – 1pm.

Please ensure children are signed in and out by a parent or carer at the beginning and end of the session. If someone different will be collecting your child, please let us know in advance.

When booking, please provide details of any allergies, medical conditions or additional needs that we should be aware of so we can ensure your child is comfortable and safe during the session.

We will also ask for an emergency contact number that can be reached during the workshop.

Our experienced team will supervise children throughout the session to ensure a safe, welcoming and creative environment for everyone.
