In this 1 hour experience we will create a treasure map which can be taken away at the end of the session. Will will work with ink onto paper which has been stained to look aged and distressed. Using historic examples of treasure maps for reference we will pay attention to drawing and styles of writing. The naming of places on the map will also be a focus. We will use a dipping nib pen and ink, exploring different thicknesses of nib and the effect that they have on lines. This is a fun experience for all ages... I am 46 and I thoroughly enjoyed making my treasure map! Scarborough's very own pirate ship the Hispaniola can be seen in season from the window of my pier side studio which overlooks the boarding spot in the harbour. I have an enhanced DBS check, however any children must be accompanied by an adult. Maximum group number is 6. Other things to note Pay and display parking is available on sight.

I will run an hour drawing experience from my studio situated on Scarborough's West Pier. Using different illustrators work for inspiration you will create your own drawing/illustration based loosely on the style of Quentin Blake. You may wish to use the wonderful scenery of the surrounding harbour and bay for inspiration! Using different art materials we'll experiment using them although the focus will be on using watercolour paints and ink, this being in keeping with the style of Quentin Blake. This is also a fun and easy to use medium to work with so it will not be too daunting for the un-confident participant. I like to encourage imagination and can be flexible to different levels of abilities. This experience is all age friendly (except toddlers) and can be adapted to different age and skill levels.

A fun 90 minute pottery wheel taster experience aimed at beginners who wish to learn the basics of throwing a simple pot or two on the wheel. You'll have a dedicated wheel for the duration of the session. There are up to 4 available spaces (restricted 2 during covid times - unless from one houshold). Suitable for children from age 12, unless it's a family group booking when little ones are very welcome too. My mini table top wheel is perfect for little hands. Please message me for group bookings. Sorry there is not enough space for spectators. After a warm welcome with a short demo making a cylinder, I'll help you center your clay and take you through the steps to make your own pot on the wheel. You'll then have time to practise some more pots and even add some coloured slips if you wish. At the end of the session you can choose your favourite pot for me to clear glaze and fire. The pots will go into the kiln twice and be ready for collection or posting around 5-6 weeks later. Postage incurs an additional fee of £5 for a single pot or up to £10 for several (up to 10kg) if packaged in the same box. (UK prices) Optional Extra: If you would like more than one of your pots, I can fire and glaze additional pots for a fee of £5 per pot to cover costs. Payment for extra pots/postage is paid at the end of the session by cash/car

Fun Filled Family Fun. Start the Waves and Wildlife guided hike with a traditional English Cream Tea, hosting in my own beautiful green smallholding with amazing views and fresh fruit to pick and take away (seasonal). For the children, there is a fairy garden, swings and games. After a fun introduction, the children will receive their activity packs - including treasure maps and mini binocular. Ready to explore, the family will follow the treasure trail, which will lead you to the most amazing unspoilt clifftop walk, with jaw dropping views down to the waves crashing below to the rolling fields beyond. Along the way, find the treasure, become pirates and search for spies. Then walk with Dinosaurs and find rocks dating back to the Jurassic period as well as hunting for rock pool wildlife and edible sea weed. This is a circular hike. The walk will conclude at the local country pub. FAMILY AND PET FRIENDLY! Other things to note You don’t have to be super fit! Just fit enough to walk up and down some stone steps and approximately 2 miles!
