Art on the carpet is ideal for schools, libraries, festivals, children’s centres and can be held just about anywhere. This program explores 3-dimensional assemblage using a variety of materials and resources. We love the imaginative ideas the children come up with on the magic carpet.

| Art Garden |  |
The Art Garden combines art and gardening to construct a creative space where children and adults are able to build connections with the natural world. It’s a place of interacting with each other via creative play, finding beauty, developing memories and leaving your mark.
