The workshops have been developed from the core belief that everyone is born creative and this needs to be nurtured and protected, allowing for freedom of self expression.
Victoria draws upon her experiences as an artist and early years educator to provide a day full of creative possibilities, new ideas, skills and approaches to developing the imagination, which can easily be presented to young children.
Victoria aims to raise confidence in participants own ability to create and raise awareness of how they can provide for, nurture and support children’s creativity within their own Early Years settings.
