Succulent Planting with Sophie Thomson - 12:30pm
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just looking to try something new, come along and create your own beautiful succulent arrangement while picking up some practical gardening tips.
Clay Art Workshop - 1:30pm
Come along and enjoy a relaxed, playful Clay Building Workshop. Using your hands and simple clay-building techniques, you’ll create something that represents a personal strength, quality or resource that is meaningful to you. Working with clay can be a calming and enjoyable way to slow down, connect with your senses and explore your own strengths and resilience.
*No artistic experience is needed — there’s no right or wrong way to do it! Just come along, have a play with the clay, and see what emerges.
