CREATIVE
DAYS
'Create Magic. Create environments where you can find joy.'

Our Philosophy
The unique creativity that exists in every one of us sometimes remains hidden unless it is recognised and nourished as we grow.
Our aim at Creative Days is to encourage and develop the creativity in every child, igniting the joy and happiness it can bring to them as they navigate their way through life. In these ever changing times full of so many influences, childhood is demanding. Our workshops offer a gentle approach to learning through creative discovery, helping children feel more comfortable in the world.
In our workshops we provide a warm, happy, inclusive and non-judgmental space where everybody is made to feel valued.
Our projects are inspired by the changing seasons, the world around us, different cultures, artists, architects, illustrators, crafts people,
graphic designers…the list goes on.
We continually look for new ideas and approaches and love experimenting with a wide variety of materials and techniques,
always ensuring that the children see and benefit from our own creative journey.
