A little update on our current art play opportunities, for both kids and adults, probably well overdue... 🙈
And a wee reminder: Imagine Play Inspire exists to nurture the innate creativity we're all born with but unfortunately seem to forget about in the process of growing up. Our classes and workshops are all about helping you and your kids trust your/their own instincts, find and express your/their voice and experience joy in the creative process.
There are currently four main pillars that make up our creative offerings... but because variety and novelty are creativity's best friends, unique pop-ups are a thing, too 😁 Best way to stay informed on what's happening is by joining the mailing list via link in bio (psst that's also the spot for booking a class). 🔗
1) After-school Art Classes in New Plymouth and Ōkato
.. nurturing creative confidence, self-regulation, self-expression, and a lasting love of making.
In our after-school classes, children are being given materials, time, curiosity, and the freedom to create their own way while receiving gentle encouragement and guidance as and when needed.
2) 1:1 and 1:2 Sessions in Ōakura
Some children prefer quieter spaces. When they can move at their own pace, follow a specific interest, or just not have to think about what everyone else is doing. These classes are for tamariki who thrive in smaller settings, those with specific creative goals, or families who simply want something more personal.
3) Adult Creative Wellbeing Workshops
For adults who want to make something with their hands, without pressure, without judgement, and without needing to be "good at art". We explore process art, play, and creativity as a form of self-care, connection, and slowing down. Expect small groups, a welcoming environment and expert facilitation.
4) Community Collaborations
I love working with organisations and community groups who want to bring more play, creativity, and connection into what they do. Past collaborations have included creative activations with Sport Taranaki and Centre City, New Plymouth. If you're planning something and you think creativity needs to be part of it, let's chat.
