TRYMWOOD STUDIOS

Trymwood Studios is a very special artist studio and gallery space in the oldest part of Westbury-on-Trym, three miles from the centre of Bristol. We love to share beautiful artworks, made by artists who engage directly with the natural world. We also hold events and run workshops for those curious about nature and art.

Fledglings at Trymwood Studios is twice-weekly celebration of creativity and the natural-world for pre-schoolers.

Our Fledgling sessions begin with the children making a circle and welcoming each other in song. More often than not, we introduce a small box into the circle containing a hint to the session's theme. We love to fill our box with found things, whether that be a beautiful Jay feather or a Roe Deer skull. The children enjoy passing the treasure to each other to explore its 'thingness' - it's smell, it's texture. Our Fledglings sessions flow from this into a celebration of the theme through songs, poetry, stories and art-making.

Where do we meet?

Fledglings meet in our special gallery space in Westbury-on-Trym, although we try and be out in our beautiful gardens as much as possible. Whilst outside we love to encourage the children to be inquisitive observers of the wildlife that visits us as well as explore the beautiful meadow that grows there.
