Planet-friendly art fun!
Get creative for a cause! In this fun and engaging hands-on workshop led by writer and artist Jessica Rose, kids turn scraps of paper, fabric, and other discarded bits into colourful works of art that celebrate and protect the planet. Discover how imagination and creativity can help raise awareness about issues like climate change and pollution.
Jessica shares ideas from her book, Let’s Get Creative: Art for a Healthy Planet, and shows how art can help kids express emotions, ease eco-anxiety, and feel more connected to the natural world.
Suitable for children 5 to 12 years of age and families.
