Flourish: Free family art workshops this summer

Join us this August for four weeks of free family art workshops at Barham Park Community Studio in Wembley.

Led by professional artists, Flourish offers creative, hands-on sessions for primary-aged children and their families. Across four weeks, participants will explore nature, storytelling, making, animation, sound, photography, clay and collaborative art-making through activities inspired by Barham Park and its surroundings.

Workshops take place both indoors and outdoors, making use of the studio and the park’s green spaces.

All workshops are free to attend. Booking is essential.
