Celebrate Samhain by making an autumnal wreath during the autumn school holidays in this workshop for 6 – 11 year olds.

As the days get shorter and the trees lose the last of their leafy coats, we’re using willow and fallen leaves for this autumnal workshop. Come and join us in celebrating the changing of the seasons through traditional craft methods.

In celebration of Samhain, the Gaelic festival marking the beginning of the darker half in the Northern Hemisphere, we will be decorating autumn willow wreaths with foraged leaves, ivy cuttings and foliage. All materials provided, but you are very welcome to bring any precious leaves or objects you’d like to add to your design.

Curious Kids is a workshop programme for 6 – 11 years olds taking place between autumn and winter at ONCA. Curious Kids workshops provide vital opportunities for social connections and creative play, crucial for childhood development and positive wellbeing, while reducing barriers to accessing art.

This workshop is free to attend but all children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the session, with no more than two children per one adult in attendance. You only need to book tickets for children. Snacks will be provided so please make ONCA aware of any allergies in advance. The activity may be messy so please wear appropriate clothing.
