EmailStep inside your imagination and bring it to life! Over three inspiring days, children will design, make, build, paint, print, and sew everything for their very own solid wooden house – and then take it home to play with.
This experience is all about open-ended creativity. From wallpaper and furniture to cushions, curtains, plants, people, and more – every detail is up to them. Children will discover the joy of creative freedom, problem-solving, and the pride of building something truly their own.
“My children (7 and 11) LOVED the art houses sessions. They had so much fun planning and then making a dream house. Weeks after the sessions, they still play with their creations and keep adding new ideas. What I love about Emma’s sessions is that the kids get to take the creative reins, learn resilience, and discover that sometimes the best results come from unexpected turns!”
