Kids Workshops
We run workshops for kids
What started out as, Kin and Cloth doing one term, after Jasmine was asked to run a creative afterschool club at the local primary academy, guiding children from year groups reception and year one. Whilst the school grew in numbers we saw an increase in attendance of children wanting to create.
Each week Jasmine provided three sessions to help children, build on their mobility skills. These sessions help individuals to gain confidence in working with others (team building) creative ways to enhance their own communication and active listening skills. We guided each child to build patience, individual decision-making, behavioural techniques and discipline for creative learning. The Creative Club enables children to gain new skills, have a sense of belonging and develop learning and coping strategies. The latter being a crucial life skill to navigate through challenges.
Our club sizes are small, so that we can give quality time to children and throughout the term, each child is guided to overcome doubts or personal blocks and will move on from the club understanding that there is no limit to their creativity. There are a high number of children who attended the club showing amazing potential to continue in the creative industry as adults.
Task set for children will always have the aim to gain basic knowledge for a forgotten life skill, helping them to develop better motor skills, a greater knowledge of how garments they wear are made all whilst having fun.
We have the ability to guide children into having a good understanding of stitching techniques and become individuals who will enjoy the creative arts and take joy in seeing their peers grow and develop alongside them in a safe and encouraging space.
We are working hard to bring this much loved club back where more children within the local area can access.
Whilst there is a pause from our weekly workshops, head on over to the Kin Kits page where you can gift some of our workshop projects.
These Kits are adapted for children to enjoy a creative time whilst spending time in their own environment on a long train jounrney.

With the ever growing interest in children learning creative skills, parents have been contacting Kin and Cloth to find out more about with our impact workshops.
We are working towards finding more secure space to reintroduce the workshops again, so that children hungry for creativity can access a safe space where they can florish amongst their peer groups.
Whilst we on on pause to find a space children can connect with our Kin Kits, these creative gifts have been adapted from our workshop projects. They provide a platform for parents of children outside of the school to access creative learning.
