We’ll come to you! 90 mins of inspired art & making for ages 7+

Bespoke art fun. Age appropriate and fully engaging - the opposite of a soft-play party! We will bring a calm, creative environment to your kitchen table on Fridays after school. Great for ages 7+, brilliant for older children, tweens, teens - and adults!

We could open with silly drawing games to get everyone relaxed, or just dive in to one of the following creative activities to suit your space and interests:

  • A hand with orange-painted nails wearing two beaded bracelets spelling "CRUEL SUMMER" and "LOVE STORY," on a yellow background.

    Beadwork

    Be inspired by Taylor Swift to create as many beaded things as you canâ€Ķ

    Paint your own wooden beads with Posca pens, thread glass beads onto cord, elastic or wire, use letter beads to celebrate your friendships. With a huge selection to chose from, your party guests will go home sparkling!

    Best for ages 7+

    We’ll bring all the materials and tools, set up before the guests arrive and clear up after 90 mins of creativity.

  • Cardboard mini furniture set with colorful decorations on a wooden table

    Small Rooms

    A pre-made cardboard room for each person and a table full of materials to explore.

    Cool melt glue guns, wallpaper, floorings and all sorts of small bits to create with. These could also be vehicles, football pitches, yachts - let their imaginations run wild.

    Best for ages 7+

    We’ll bring all the materials and tools, set up before the guests arrive and clear up after 90 mins of creativity.

    Heat Press Collage

    Working directly onto heat transfer paper, each child can design and collage their own bag or pencil case with a unique, durable design.

    This exciting party is brilliant for older children - we (safely) use a heat press along with Posca pens and coloured markers to create individual art works to take home and use for years!

    Best for ages 8+

    We’ll bring all the materials and tools, set up before the guests arrive and clear up after 90 mins of creativity.

Any room with a table/worktop big enough for your guests and access to a power point will be perfect.

We can travel in and around Bristol, destinations outside postcode areas BS1-9 will incur an extra travel charge.
