As part of Remembrance Day For Lost Species, we’re delighted to bring you an event with local artist Saj Fareed where you’ll be creating your very own nature inspired embossed foil artwork. Together, we will be using everyday foil oven trays and transforming them into shimmering stained glass effect works. This creative technique is super fun and easy to do.

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

About the artist

Saj Fareed is a British Asian artist with over 28 years of experience working on a wide range of art education projects for museums, schools, galleries and other establishments. Saj has a keen interest in promoting arts and crafts as a tool for creative expression and learning. Through her practice, Saj takes inspiration from her desire to live a slower pace of life and the importance of creative self-care for positive wellbeing.

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. This activity may be messy so please wear appropriate clothing.
