Forage, Print & Press Workshop – Offerton with Self Care Creatives

Forage for natural treasures and have the opportunity to create art with your finds!

Classes from Self Care Creatives are centred on finding enjoyment from nature and creating artwork, whilst developing skills, building confidence and connecting with the community.

This create and explore workshop will offer the opportunity to create art through:

– Flower pressing

– Leaf printing

– Leaf pounding

– Painting & colouring

Participants will be given the opportunity for their creations to be used within the “Vision of Stockport” community led artwork, a project celebrating the history, regeneration and natural beauty of Stockport. This workshop is an adults only class.

This is a party outdoor event, please wear appropriate footwear and clothing. We also have an indoor space that we will be utilising, so the event will still be going ahead ahead should we experience less than ideal weather conditions.

The allotment is situated at the end of Webb Lane, next to the bowling green.
