Material Play Sessions

2021 - 2023

Sensory material play sessions for children and their families where we use our senses to explore tactility and our environment around us, including various ‘sensory stations’, as inspiration to create sensory textile artworks.

I delivered sensory textile workshops for children aged 8-14 as part of the Criw Celf project led by Ty Pawb, Wrexham. Within these session the children explored different materials in the ‘sensory stations’, collected nature items on our wellbeing walk and used these experiences to design and create their own sensory fidget textile object (Material Play Object).

During sensory sessions in Oriel Davies for children with additional needs and their families we created personalised tactile boards inspired by the sensory room I set up in one of the gallery spaces.

I have delivered sessions like these in various galleries and organisations including Oriel Davies, The Royal Cambrian Academy, Mostyn, Galeri Caernarfon and Ty Pawb.
