Hi ,

I’ve been working on something I’m really excited to share with you — the beta version of my:

Pattern Play Classroom Toolkit

A Structured, Inclusive Framework for Leading Collaborative Painting

This has grown out of years of painting with groups — kids, adults, complete beginners — and seeing just how powerful it is when people create something together.

But I also know getting started can feel uncertain.
 

• What do you do first?
• How do you keep it simple?
• How do you make it work for a whole group?

That’s exactly why I am creating this.

This Toolkit is designed to help you:

• get started without overthinking
• guide your group with simple, clear steps
• feel confident leading collaborative art

Inside, you’ll find a full 60+ page guide covering the Pattern Play stages, practical tips, and quick reference tools you can use during a session.

(Note: this beta version doesn’t include images yet.)

I’d love your feedback

To keep it simple, you don’t need to review everything — just share 3 quick points, perhaps:

• something that works well
• something that could be clearer
• anything you’d love to see added or improved
• or simply whatever you want to share

This is an early version — I’d love to hear your thoughts! Just hit reply to this email.
 

If you’d like to be acknowledged, include the name you’d like me to use at the end of your comments (first name, full name, or preferred name — you can also add your occupation or organisation if you like).

Thank you for being part of this — I can’t wait to hear what you think.

Warmly,
Charndra

Your Inclusive Social Art Guide.

P.S. Your feedback will help make this Toolkit truly easy to use, so anyone can jump in and lead fun, confident collaborative art sessions — thank you for shaping it!
