North Kensington: Free creative workshops for families this April holiday
18 March 2025
Join us this April at our spaces in North Kensington and the Diana Memorial Playground for a series of free creative workshops designed for primary-aged children and their carers.
Meet us at Maxilla Walk Studios for three free hands-on sessions led by artist Flora Duley. We’ll explore the world of plants and animals as they emerge this spring and use recycled materials, such as balls, tubes, and pipes, to create games and sculptures that connect our studio to the outdoor garden.
We’re also offering two exciting bonus sessions at Blechynden Street Studios and the Diana Memorial Playground. Meet us a Blechynden for an interactive play session led by Play:Disrupt, designing play spaces that bring your ideas to life, and join us for a fun-filled trip to the Diana Memorial Playground.
All sessions are free, and no prior experience is required, just bring your creativity and a sense of adventure!
