A summary

Get creative and bring your imagination to life in this exciting Pop Art workshop! Inspired by bold colours, iconic imagery, and the playful style of artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, children and young people will explore fun painting techniques using acrylics to create their own vibrant portrait of a well‑known character.
This session is designed to be inclusive, engaging, and confidence‑building, giving participants the chance to experiment with colour, pattern, and expression in a relaxed and supportive environment. Our experienced facilitators will guide each step, encouraging creativity while allowing everyone to develop their own unique style.
Taking part in this activity helps develop fine motor skills, creativity, and self-expression, while also supporting wellbeing through art and social interaction. It’s a fantastic opportunity to try something new, build confidence, and have fun with others.
By the end of the session, each participant will take home their own bold, eye-catching Pop Art portrait to proudly display.

Please note: All children must be accompanied by an adult/carer.

The Sensory Place

About Us The Sensory Place is a parent-led organisation offering a network of support to families of children with all disabilities aged 0-25 years. We are all parents of a child or children with a disability and we felt that there were just not enough places to go or things to do when you have a child who has additional needs as mainstream activities are just not accessible for many different reasons. We also experienced judgement and isolation as other people do not always understand the difficulties families like ours face. We knew we weren't alone in thinking this and so The Sensory Place was born in 2019 with a view to changing this for the better. We are proud to say we achieved charity status in September 2021. Our charity registration number is 1195932. We offer courses based on the needs of our families, sensory friendly and accessible events designed with the whole family in mind as well as working with a variety of organisations, services and local authorities to make mainstream events accessible to all. We have an ambitious vision for what we want the charity to achieve and how we want families to be able to benefit. We are always looking for new and exciting activities, courses and things to do. Please feel free to let us know if there is anything in particular you would like to see and we will do what we can to bring it to you. Our families will always be at the heart of everything we do and we welcome feedback to help us improve. Every penny we receive in donations goes back into the charity to help us continue to provide events and activities. If you are interested in fundraising for us, please get in touch and we will do what we can to support. So whether your child is a sensory seeker, avoider, both or neither - welcome! We hope that you find the support within the group that you are looking for.
