Art Workshops for Community Groups & Charities
Creative workshops in Bristol for charities, family services and community organisations. Inclusive, wellbeing-focused outreach from Goldfinch Create & Play.
Goldfinch Create & Play offers creative, nature-inspired workshops for children and adults. We work with charities, community groups and local organisations to bring calm, welcoming and confidence-building creative experiences into the community.
Creative Workshops That Build Connection
Bringing people together through creativity, shared experiences and meaningful making
Our workshops are designed to bring people together through shared creative experiences. Using hands-on, nature-inspired activities, we create welcoming spaces where participants can connect, express themselves, and build confidence. Whether through making, storytelling, or collaborative projects, our sessions encourage conversation, creativity, and a strong sense of belonging.
“The classes are run by really wonderful early years professionals. There is a calm atmosphere in the classes and the children are free to explore whatever they want. My 3 year old son gets so excited about the activities set up (each week is different)."

For Charities, Youth Groups & Family Organisations
We work closely with charities, youth groups, and family-focused organisations across Bristol to deliver inclusive, engaging workshops tailored to their communities. Our sessions are flexible and accessible, designed to support wellbeing, creativity, and connection for people of all ages and backgrounds, including those who may face barriers to participation.
“A huge thank you again for supporting us with the workshops on Saturday. We really appreciated it and enjoyed coming along! ."

Examples of Organisations We Support
Trusted partnerships with local organisations making a meaningful impact in our community
We are proud to collaborate with a range of local organisations, including Young Bristol. Each year, to celebrate our birthday, we host a family art workshop with all proceeds supporting their work, while also creating a space for their team to share more about the impact they have in the community. We are also excited about an upcoming project with Project MAMA, where we will be delivering a family-focused workshop for migrant mothers and their children. In addition, we have hosted community events such as The Feeding Chair at Watershed Bristol, led by our teen art teacher Sarah Dennis, bringing together creativity, storytelling, and shared experience in a meaningful and inclusive setting.
“Thank you so much for holding a fantastic Mother’s Day themed event on Saturday in aid of Young Bristol. It was great to see so many families enjoy creating the tissue paper bouquets. My daughter certainly loved creating hers!"
