Event Description
Using the text Tell Me a Dragon as a stimulus, families will conjure up their own dragon and use clay to bring them to life. The workshop involves designing a dragon eye, creating it out of air dry clay and designing and painting the egg it hatched from.
Each child attending needs a paid for ticket, adults can accompany the workshop for free, if they wish, but must have a valid entry ticket to the Festival.
Ages 6+
Approx. 1.5 to 2 hour workshop
Wildwood Wonders is led by Shanie Noakes, an enthusiastic and experienced educator with a Bachelor of Arts in Primary Education with an English Specialism and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). She brings a wealth of experience working and creating alongside children and young people aged 2 to 18 in diverse settings, including traditional classrooms, forest schools, youth centres and even by a frozen lake in Finland or Japan’s smallest independent school. As an adult diagnosed with ADHD, she is passionate about creating a safe, inclusive environment where every learner can thrive, create and grow in a way that suits them best.
