About Us:
Hands & Hearts Space offers mindful art workshops for children, providing a safe and supportive environment for self-expression, emotional growth, and resilience. Each workshop is thoughtfully designed to help children explore and express their thoughts and feelings in a healthy, creative way. Through a blend of art and mindfulness-based activities, we empower young minds to navigate their emotions, build confidence, and foster meaningful connections with themselves and others.
About the Founder:
Hello, I’m Annabelle!
I’m a registered teacher, artist, and passionate advocate for the transformative power of creativity. With a background in education, fine art and certification in therapeutic art practices, I’ve combined my expertise to create a supportive space where children can freely express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional resilience through art and mindfulness.
Is This Workshop Right for Your Child?
Our Mindful Art Workshop is designed for children aged 6-10 years of age.
This session is especially helpful for:
✨ Fostering creativity and playfulness – Inspiring imagination and open-ended exploration, giving children the freedom to express themselves.
✨ Encouraging social connection – Providing a safe space for children to interact, collaborate, and build friendships through shared creative experiences.
✨ Navigating emotional difficulties – such as anxiety, self-doubt, or social difficulties, and seeking gentle strategies for managing big emotions.
✨ Neurodivergence – including children who resonate with traits of autism, ADHD, or other neurodifferences (with or without a formal diagnosis).
✨ Adjusting to life changes – including shifts in school, friendships, or family dynamics.
What This Workshop Isn’t:
This isn’t a traditional art class, so children won’t be focusing on improving artistic skills or producing refined art projects. Instead, the emphasis is on using the art process as a mindful tool for self-exploration and reflection, encouraging kids to express themselves freely without worrying about the end result.
Who May Find This Workshop Unsuitable:
Our goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive space for all children. However, this group may not be the best fit for those currently experiencing more serious mental health challenges. If your child requires additional support, we recommend consulting a psychologist or psychiatrist. Your GP can provide a referral to connect you with the right services. If you're unsure whether this group is the right fit, please feel free to reach out—we're happy to chat and help guide you toward the best support for your child. You’re welcome to message us on Instagram (@handsandheartspace) with any questions.
What to Bring:
- An apron or an old T-shirt to protect your clothes from art materials (a few spare aprons will be available if needed).
- A sealed water bottle.
- Comfortable clothing.
