'Making Creativity Bloom'

At the heart of Poppies’ ethos is the knowledge that learning should be fun as well as educational.

Art workshops create lasting memories and tangible artwork which the school as a whole and the pupils in particular will enjoy for years afterwards. The benefits of a Creative Curriculum include -self esteem, team work, learning and using new skills / methods/ processes, communication,engagement and an enhanced sense of achievement.

Because we believe that every child matters, we operate a completely inclusive policy.

So we offer:

Mosaic: Individual pieces, recycled, themed shaped, 2D/ 3D mosaics or whole-school participation based on students’ designs and drawings.
Textiles: Banners, fabric painting, wall hangings.
Badge Making: Great for school fairs and fundraising, gifts
Eco: Collage, mosaic, healthy eating projects, environmental awareness, sketchbooks, hangings
Drawing and painting : Experimental drawing, the 'BIG' draw
Custom Made Workshops including 'ECO' projects: Call or email us for a friendly, informal discussion.

We’ll work closely with local newspapers, on request, and we’ll provide photos to add to your school’s website. So our workshops have a positive marketing element too.
