Keepsake Brushes: The tools made in this activity are objects in their own right and, especially with the different colours splatted on them, can be too good to throw away. One way of capturing the tools is to make them into hanging decorations. If you don't have twine wool is OK too.... more soon.

Painting by nature: A great way to introduce a painting activity to those who aren’t comfortable with traditional painting and arts. Building your brush out of natural objects is all part of this relaxing and calming activity. What’s more you can create some beautiful abstract patterns. Have a go: I will follow these up with a ZOOM: in the title of these workshops.

We are going into Lockdown, ahh I don't even want to say it! Over the next 3 weeks I am going to be out and about doing some nature art, and we can all compare, chat and share to get through together: Here's some of the things we can do: Where do I live?
Where do I live is a multi-sensory activity based around images and landscapes to get people talking, thinking, tapping into memories and telling stories.

Setting up

Prepare images of three different landscapes; some good examples are;

Coastal
Country lane
Woodland
Back garden
Urban park.
You could use magazines, newspapers or print something from the internet.

To accompany these images, find some objects that provide visual clues for each landscape; for example – shells for coastal image, cut flowers for urban park, small car toy for country lane, pine cones for woodland. Try and incorporate items that smell, are interesting to touch or even play some sounds from a tablet or your phone.

Collect plants that can be found in each landscape (try and do this as close to the day as possible; if it’s not possible, then collect plants and press them to dry rather than leave them to dry slowly and shrivel out of shape)
