Creativity club with Chandos Atelier
What you'll do
Who said creative play was just for children? Its benefits of focusing the mind, relieving stress and boosting self-esteem are just as valuable for adults too.
So gather your friends and set yourselves up for a quirky morning of exploration. Two hours of joyful creativity awaits...
Your Chandos Atelier host will be Emma, an experienced Bristol maker who offers unique art workshops - who knows what you'll come out with.
This creativity club will feature:
- • A theme for you to explore and interpret in your own way (from wirework, to silk painting and polymer clay)
- • A table full of materials to choose from and experiment with - let your imagination run wild!
- • Small groups (max. 8 guests) will be guided by your inspiring host, with over 20 years of experience making props and costumes
- • The chance to unwind and have some fun with friends
What you decide on creating will be entirely up to you. Whether you want to use wire and foam to sculpt tiny creatures, make miniature outlandish costumes for wooden models, or freestyle with your medium, a glue gun and just build, build, build. Anything goes!
There will be paint, clay, fabrics, leathers, embellishments - pretty much any material you can think of, Emma's got it. Enjoy the process, let your mind wander and your hands explore. It’s time to make your very own masterpiece!

About Chandos Atelier
Chandos Atelier specialises in sharing freestyle, exploratory art and making experiences for everyone. It's run by Emma, who has been making props and costumes for over 20 years and now works out of her colourful Chandos Atelier studio, in Redland. In her experiences guests are free to experiment and explore with different materials and methods. Emma is very much of the ethos that there is no right or wrong when it comes to being creative, just safe practice and exciting art discoveries. Any experience at Chandos Atelier will be filled with fun, encouragement and creativity as you rediscover your artistic side and work together to make your own original art.
Your host
Emma will be your host. She’s been running her art experiences since 2017 when she returned to Bristol after years working around the world making props and costumes for TV and theatre. Emma loves hosting groups of all ages and skills, and helping them to explore their creativity. Her making method is experimental, and she encourages everyone who comes along to explore their creativity and most of all, have fun.
