Summer Sessions Start Friday 29th May! 10-12 Jesus Green by the Kiosk on the Green
‘Cambridge Creative Parents has offered invaluable community and mindfulness during the first months of motherhood. It is a kind and welcoming space, with tea and biscuits on hand. Thoughtful exercises to explore in each session give a moment to reflect on where we are, and the creative process feels like a treat during busy days. Ellie offers guidance and support, both for the task in hand and the personal challenges of the week. I have made friends at these sessions and felt comfortable to share the highs and lows of becoming a mum, all with my baby safe and welcome beside me. These sessions are one of the most positive and valuable postpartum experiences I’ve had’.

Join a guided creative session for parents in a calm, child-friendly environment. Run not for profit. Suitable for 0–3 year olds, giving you space to unwind and create.
The next session is Friday 29th May, 10am-12pm.
These sessions are for parents wanting to do some art. We meet with our babies or kids in tow and find some time just for us. The kids play while we have some space to draw, write, or practice some other creative task.
Projects vary week to week but they are all approachable and fun even if you don’t feel you are artistic (we would argue that actually you are).
Run by me, Ellie, a midwife and published author with a history of running art sessions too! I will provide supplies, and give prompts to dissolve any creative blocks…to be clear the emphasis is on YOU the parent/guardian getting to do some art because we so rarely get to do such things.
These sessions are great for parents of babies and young children. It’s perfect for you if you have a small baby/pre-walker. You are also welcome to bring your older child with you; during the summer, we meet outside. There will always be a craft activity for the kids and a few toys.
