Valentines Park Forest Garden & Colours of Redbridge
Art in the Forest for Homeschoolers
Locally, we have a vibrant homeschooling community and Amber of Bee in Creative came along to organise Art in the Forest for us. Children of all ages ‘explored and experimented’ using paints, clay, volcanoes and coloured rice and lentils!
Adult Plein Air Workshop
For those of us who haven’t picked up a paintbrush since school, our Adults Plein Art Watercolour workshop offered a welcome chance to try our hand at painting greenery in the Forest Garden. Local artist, Brenda Coyle encouraged us to believe that there is an Artist in all of us!
Half Term in the Forest
The Forest Garden was bursting with energy again when Amber ran a holiday activity session.
Christchurch Primary School Workshop
When rain threatened to stop play, instead of Christchurch school kids coming to the Forest Garden, we took the Forest Garden to them! (Paints, leaves and flowers at least!) Brenda asked the children to explore the parts of leaves and how to mix colours. She was very impressed with their enthusiasm and positivity!
