Yes! There is scrap cardboard around for you to trial different techniques!
Can Children take part?
Everybody is welcome to take part in the experience! All children must be supervised by an adult at all times for their safety.
Is the paint safe for children?
Will I get messy / my clothes stained?
The whole point in the experience is to get messy! The paint we use is washable but we cannot guarantee it won't stain your clothes. We provide biodegradable ponchos, shoe and hair covers, and eye protection to help you out as best we can but suggest you don't wear your favourite clothes or shoes!
The types of paint we have available to use is the same paint used regularly at Early Years settings with toddlers and young children; tempera and poster paints. Both paint manufacturers state that the product is not suitable for children under 36 months.
What refreshments will be available?
You can take your wet canvas home with you in a box or we can post it to you for a fee.
It is really important to us that our event is inclusive. The experience is set up with everybody in mind and we are always looking for ways to improve our acessibility.
'The Space' has disabled access but sadly no accessible toilets. We apologise to anyone who can't come along for this reason. We are working out how to bring ourselves to you!
During the day we will be offering a small selection of homemade baked goods - all proceeds will be donated to Bristol Mind Charity.
