90 minute B!Creative WORKSHOP

SAND Workshop & Installation

A flexible hands-on, all-ages, all-abilities workshop.

SAND is a child-centred, play-based workshop that empowers children aged 2–10 years to explore and experiment with the scale and texture of sand through all-ages, all-abilities 90-minute sessions.

Each workshop offers a happy and calm environment where children and their carers collaborate, engaging with onsite installations and natural materials to create make-and-take art projects.

There’s no right or wrong here — just imagination and discovery!

These workshops spark joy, curiosity, and laughter, inviting participants to explore the environment around them through storytelling, movement, and art-making.

Fun, messy & inspiring! — Melanie, Workshop Participant
