Sam Macgregor is a local artist, who offers workshops based around the environment and recycling through her company Funk-yard Arts. She is currently training to become an art therapist with an interest in how making art can impact positively on mental health and well-being. She is delighted to be working with Woodlands Community Gardens on this project to offer nature inspired arts activities for children who live locally to the area.

After so many weeks spent in lock down, the workshop programme provides an opportunity to get together with other families and children online for the sessions and to get creative with a range of
materials. It also encourages families to spend time outdoors gathering some of the natural materials we’ll also be using. The art packs will provide the other necessary materials and there will
also be information sheets for those who cannot attend the online sessions.

Format:
Pick up an art pack from Sam Macgregor at Woodlands Community Garden the day before the art session (Tuesdays between 1-4pm)
