Mindful Making

Visual art workshops with a mindfulness focus

At Brockhole we are surrounded by the beauty of nature - from striking landscape of mountains and lake, to nature and wildlife in our beautiful grounds. These surroundings will inspire the Art we create and be at the focus for the mindful element of our session.

Your group will create amazing artwork and be encouraged to observe, appreciate, and be inspired by the nature that surrounds them through a focused 'mindful moment' activity.

Choose your art discipline : 

Printmaking

Explore the exciting art of printmaking, through monoprint, relief or collagraph processes. Your group will create unique artwork taking inspiration from either the beautiful landscape of the Lake District and its wonderful wildlife or the Arts & Crafts era focusing on the work of William Morris.

Price: £5.75 per child

Mixed Media and Collage 

Using a variety of exciting materials, your group will have the chance to experiment and use their imagination, exploring mark making and art materials to create a beautifully layered piece of work.

Making with Nature

In this session focused on appreciating the beauty of natural materials, your group will make their own magnificent creations using materials found in Brockhole’s grounds! They will create their own land art pieces inspired by the amazing work of Land Artists and have a go at some exciting techniques using natural materials to make artwork to take home.

Price: £5.75 per child

All sessions are 1hr 30 minutes. Minimum session cost £75.

 *Our sessions are differentiated for KS1 and KS2

Our Visual Art workshops are led by Rosie - an Artist and experienced workshop facilitator part of the Learning Team at Brockhole.

Making art in itself can be a wonderfully mindful experience; with the addition of our 'mindful moment' activity - these sessions will be a calm, rewarding and inspiring experience for your group. 

Workshop themes are centred around aspects of the Lake District or Nature, but we are open to tailoring themes or art disciplines to suit your group or curriculum topics. Just get in touch with Rosie to discuss details.
