In the current climate of uncertainty, I've put a hold on plans to move forward with any classes for the foreseeable future. I want to keep this space open as I do hope a time will come that we can all gather together again.


Ms. Shell / Sherwood Forest Messy Arts June 2021

A Community PLAY Space because...

Play is an essential element to healthy living,
as is a sense of belonging, and community.

Sherwood Forest Studios is dedicated to creating a space to bring together both.

A space where ALL people from our wider community can gather
to explore the world of the Arts.

A space designed to inspire, and be inspired by it's community.

Messy Art Exploration -Child w/accompanying Adult
Leave the mess to US! Too much paint, too much glitter, too much glue... is never enough for a childs inquisitive mind and curiosity of what these wondrous materials are capable of.

These classes are designed to let a child explore away.
Supplies and Tools provided. Let us worry about the clean up, you can relax and enjoy, take some pictures or get messy with your little. 
One of a kind ART take away's (maybe....?, the focus here will be on the process). Memories... FOR SURE!

Creations by YOU!

An invitation awaits you! In these series of classes you are invited to explore an idea. Build a Haunted House for a host of spooky or friendly ghosts, or perhaps you'd like to join us in creating beautiful Mosaics to enjoy. These classes will have a little more direction but remain open ended to your child's interpretation.
