Hearth
Join us each month for a makers circle in nature at East Pollokshields Quad (age 16+)
A supportive creative space - no experience necessary - come as you are and have a play and explore with natural materials around a fire.
Sessions are supported by Gina and Sophie, both forest school-ers, crafters and makers.
Work in Schools
Work with us to create bespoke outdoor learning programmes for your school, class or group.
