Neurodivergent Friends Thanet with Carole Kenrick
15th Jan & 12th Feb
7-9pm
The NDFT Creative Connection Club is a programme designed to complement our regular social meetups and coffee mornings, offering a dedicated space for Neurodivergent adults to explore a range of creative activities shaped by community interest. Each month, sessions are facilitated by professional artists and practitioners, with a focus on creativity, connection, and environmental sustainability.
Painting with Nature is a hands-on, playful art workshop for Neurodivergent adults who want to explore creativity using everyday, sustainable materials.
In this session, you’ll learn how to make simple, water-based paints using things you may already have in your kitchen or can find on a walk around Thanet – including kitchen scraps, spices and other natural ingredients. By working with materials that might otherwise be thrown away, you’ll explore low-waste ways of making art that are affordable, not harmful to the environment and easy to continue at home.
You’ll get to experiment with making different colours, and you can make a personal colour chart to help you remember what you discover. You can then use your handmade paints to make an artwork of your own. If starting from a blank page feels tricky, there will be optional pre-drawn outlines inspired by plants, animals, and natural patterns that you can colour in or adapt.
The workshop is designed to be low-pressure and supportive, with clear structure, gentle pacing and plenty of choice. The focus is on curiosity and play rather than technical skill or being ‘good’ at art. You don’t need any previous art experience – just an openness to experimenting!
All materials are provided, and there’s no need to bring anything unless you want to wear old clothes / an apron or bring your own notebook / sketchbook for personal notes.
Due to the nature of working with food stuffs, please let us know if you have any allergies.
