Autumn-themed art workshop led by artist Lisa Tilley using natural materials such as leaves, inks, pressed plants and petals, for young people aged 14-19 with an EHCP.
Autumn Studio is coming to MK Gallery on Friday 30 October, a morning of making that's all about the stuff falling around us this time of year. The session is led by artist Lisa Tilley, and the whole thing is built around working with natural materials: painting with leaves and inks, pressing plants into clay, and making prints with petals. It's a hands-on way of spending a few hours, with the focus on what you can find outside rather than anything you have to buy.
There's a specific group in mind here. The workshop is for neurodivergent and disabled young people aged 14-19 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). To keep things accessible, there's an Inclusion Assistant on hand throughout the session, and light refreshments are provided, so it's set up to be a relaxed space where you can just get stuck in without worrying about the logistics. It forms part of Milton Keynes Council's EHCP+ offer, which is their wider programme of support for young people with an EHCP.

Because it's a small-group session, spaces are limited and you'll need to book through Eequ rather than just turning up. It's free to take part, so if you're in that age group and have an EHCP, it's a good chance to spend a morning making something with your hands in a gallery setting. The date is Friday 30 October at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes.
