The Nature Art Club

Pottery studio on a gold sack trolley! Car Free Day in Brighton today and I pushed this bad boy up a very steep hill to after school club...9 butter dishes in the making. It's good to be back! 😊🌿

Stormy winter seas leave lots of seaweed on the beach, which is great for spray painting! The Nature Art Club started in Brunei 7 years ago from noticing things on my jungle walks and wanting to create something with it. My lockdown walks are just the same 💙

Sunshine yellow daffodils...a feast of colour for the soul after so many grey days....💛

Earthy winter nature crafts using evergreens, dried moss and clay. We also tried decoupage on oyster shells for the first time, to make trinket dishes. I think I could get obsessed with decoupage paper! Winter storms do bring good beachcombing at this time of year 🌊🌬

Mossy Monster sessions in Nature Art Clubs this week, and pottery club was inspired by fairy scenes, birds and sleeping deer. Just lovely!

Wet and windy! 💨💦 paper straws blowing ink for trees bent in the wind with leaf printing using acrylic 🧡

Fantastic Beasts and How to Make Them...conch shell horned unicorns and star anise Godzillas!

Last of the summer sun making nature mandalas and pictures. 🌞🌻

It's a wet weekend coming which is a great time for a woodland walk. The sound of rain dripping on leaves, the squelch of mud underfoot and the smell of earth mulching down. Also a good time to collect bark found on the forest floor, take it home and paint on it!

💚 Green Gathering festival 2019! The kids area was absolutely brilliant, so many fantastic things to do and so lovely to see parents joining in too. Wonderful family times! Our stick staffs and wands workshop on the Saturday was packed so no chance to take photos but magic was in the air and the fields that day! 🧙‍♂️

Seaweed spray painting then sharpies for design detail... one of the children discovered using neon sharpies for added phosphoresence. What an inspiration!
