During these workshops, children will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with professional artists. They’ll experience art as a tool for exploration, communication, and self-expression. This personalised approach supports a sense of identity and ownership over both the creative process and the environment.
It was an utter joy & breath of fresh air to find a space that allowed our son with little speech to explore & try lots of different activities, get messy & have loads of fun without judgement or fear of mess. J often takes some time to adjust to new Spaces but he quickly regulated & was trusting with the adult supporting him & opened up/relaxed completely in the space. – Parent 2024
They explored & regulated well in the space. Very quickly felt safe & content, was allowed to roam & explore a variety of activities without trying to actively leave the space. J lead the choice of activity which involved lots of tactile paint play & using other objects to paint & mark make – Parent 2024
We totally support & will continue to support this brilliant initiative. If every parent with a neurodiverse child could access something like this weekly it would undoubtedly be a highlight. A joy & a real blessing to our family. – Parent 2024
