Unleash Creativity: Trash to Treasure Upcycling Workshop for Kids with Lynne Lambourne

https://www.tickettailor.com/events/lynnelambourne/1310271?

Thu 25 Jul 2024 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM Workshop, Satsun Cottage, RG9 5Lb
Step into a world where old transforms into new, and creativity knows no bounds! Join us for an unforgettable journey with Lynne Lambourne of Warriors on Waste, where children will learn the magic of upcycling furniture using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

Imagine bringing in a tired bedside table or a forgotten chair from home and transforming it from drab to fab. In this hands-on workshop, kids will not only learn essential skills in reusing, repurposing, and recycling but will also ignite their imaginations as they breathe new life into everyday items.

Under Lynne's expert guidance, children will embark on an adventure of colour and design, exploring the endless possibilities of transforming furniture into unique treasures. From selecting the perfect paint colour to mastering brush techniques, every step of the upcycling process will be a delightful learning experience.

But the excitement doesn't end there! As a champion of sustainability, Lynne believes in nurturing a love for nature alongside creative endeavours. That's why the workshop includes a thrilling nature scavenger hunt, where young explorers will roam the lush surroundings, uncovering hidden treasures and forging connections with the natural world.

Afterwards, it's time to enjoy garden playtime, where laughter fills the air and friendships blossom amidst fun-filled activities and games. With every moment spent outdoors, children will deepen their appreciation for the environment and nature and maybe even get involved in a few gardening jobs!

So, come along and join Lynne Lambourne for a day of adventure, creativity, and camaraderie. Let's turn trash into treasure, one brushstroke at a time, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Reserve your spot today and watch your child's imagination soar!
