Imagine Play Inspire offers creative play experiences which focus on open-ended sensory exploration and process over product. Through providing an inviting and inspiring environment with small group sizes, we are creating a space which both little artists and their parents can enjoy. An opportunity to play, observe, create and connect – without having to worry about any of the mess.

Workshops
Adults
You used to be creative: making things just for fun…but somehow life got busy and now you can’t remember the last time you painted, cut, glued, messed around with materials. Reconnect with the joy of play, step out of autopilot and do something that’s for you. Leave feeling calmer, more confident creatively, and with a mixed-media piece & personal art journal to take home. Join our upcoming half-day workshop in February!
