 Family Art and Creative Sessions at Park in the Past.

​

​

Join us in our new art studio at Park in the Past ( Fagle Lane, Hope, LL12 9HB ) and in our woodland Druids Grove.

​

Our Family Art Workshops are a great way for the whole family to spend time together being creative and having fun.

We teach in a way that encompases all age groups and abilities.

​

We provide high quality art materials and tools for use during our workshops to ensure you can get the most out of your session, and come away with a piece of artwork or new skills to be proud of.

​

 In our historical art workshops we focus on using Earth Pigments, and various historical paint binders such as egg, Casein and various natural gums and honey.

​

​

Our group activity sessions also make for unusual Birthday Parties - for all ages 7 years and over! - If you would like to book a Birthday Party session, just let us know.  Contact Here
