Poppyseeds home Welcoming and creative studio nestled amoungest the trees…creative workshops and parties for children and adults Well....Poppyseeds was my childhood nickname!!

I am asked so many times where my business name came from. After I had left home to further my career in the corporate world, I would receive letters from home. And yes they were paper letters, no email, facetime or text messages in those days!!! My parents would write Poppyseeds home on the letter head instead of their address. So my business name was born even before my business was! I make item

s that I would like in my own home and look to the natural world for inspiration in all my creations. I love spending time around the North Norfolk coast, Dorset and the lush landscape of the Peak District. I can often be found searching for interesting shells and collecting unusual pieces of driftwood. Most of the ideas for my collections are designed whilst sitting in my little beach hut looking out to sea.......or whilst sat upon a windswept beach! All my gifts are handmade in my workshop in Harpenden, uk.

This week at our afterschool art and craft club, we took a stroll around the schools sensory garden. We used all our senses as we explored. Taking our canvas and paints, we found our own sit spot and painted what we saw. The artists were so excited to be using brand new paint pallets, and used the inside of the lid to mix shades. It was a wonderful mindfulness and relaxing session, with our artists commenting how nice it was to be outdoors and to ‘just be’ x

This week at our afterschool art and craft club at Roundwood primary, we continued our program of printing techniques; our artists took their art making outdoors. We collected natural resources and used the skill ‘Hapa Zome’ a Japanese art form of extracting the dye from plants. Using a small hammer, our artists explored the effects and outcomes of this skill, to much delight! Then created natural art on a cotton draw string bag. Well done artists!Next week, we move into our scheme of clay exploration. Exciting projects awaits
