Family Story & Art: Picasso-Inspired Creativity 🎨

On Sunday 14th June, the Art Shed will be buzzing with colour, imagination, and creativity as we dive into our next Family Story & Art sessions at 11am, 1pm and 3pm.

This session is all about exploring the playful, bold and wonderfully unexpected world of the artist Pablo Picasso.

We’ll begin our creative journey together by sharing a fun and engaging story called “Picasso’s Trousers!”. This light-hearted story is a brilliant way to spark curiosity about Picasso’s life and art, and it opens up space for children (and grown-ups too!) to chat about what makes his work so unique. We’ll look at some of his famous paintings and explore how he wasn’t afraid to see the world differently.

Then it’s out to the Art Shed, where the real magic happens…

Here, we’ll be creating our own portraits – you can choose to draw a self-portrait or a portrait of the grown-up with you. Inspired by Picasso’s bold style and playful approach to art, we’ll experiment with shapes, imagination, and expressive mark-making. There’s no “right way” to do it – just plenty of room to explore, play, and let creativity flow.

These sessions are designed to be relaxed, welcoming and full of encouragement. The focus is on children enjoying the process of making art, while adults are invited to support, join in, or simply enjoy watching their child’s ideas come to life. And if you feel inspired to create alongside them – you’re very welcome to jump in too!
