We're delighted to introduce WonderMake, a new creative education initiative by Far'n'Beyond, bringing hands-on workshops to primary schools across the local community.
As a creative business, we're fortunate to spend our days designing, experimenting, solving problems and bringing ideas to life. WonderMake is an opportunity to share some of that knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with the next generation.
Through practical workshops, we want to encourage children to explore their creativity, experiment with different materials and techniques, and develop the confidence to turn their ideas into something they can be proud of.
Creativity plays an important role in education, helping children develop problem-solving skills, confidence and the ability to think independently.
However, with schools facing increasing pressure on budgets and resources, opportunities to explore creative subjects through practical activities can sometimes be limited.
As a creative agency with experience across design, print and digital, we're in a fortunate position to share our knowledge and resources with the wider community.
“I'm really excited to see WonderMake come to life! At Far'n'Beyond, creativity is at the heart of everything we do, and we believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore their imagination and develop new skills.
WonderMake is a fantastic way for us to share our knowledge and enthusiasm with young people in our local community.”
Laura | Creative Designer & WonderMake Project Lead
WonderMake brings together our passion for creativity with our commitment to supporting education and individual growth, giving children the freedom to experiment, make mistakes and discover what they're capable of creating.
By combining practical activities with encouragement from experienced creatives, we hope to introduce new ways of thinking and inspire a lasting interest in creativity.
Our first WonderMake workshop will take place with pupils from a local Leeds primary school, led by Penny of Penny's Community Arts, who works with local groups and organisations to encourage creativity, artistic expression and collaborative learning.
The session will encourage children to explore their own stories and ideas through mark-making, printmaking and image-making, experimenting with different materials and creative techniques along the way.
We hope the experience will help build confidence, encourage independent thinking and give children the freedom to explore their imagination alongside their classmates.
Most importantly, there is no right or wrong result. It's about curiosity, experimentation and the enjoyment of creating something unique.
We're excited to see what the children create and look forward to sharing more about WonderMake as the initiative develops.
