The Discovery Den will not be running from September 2023. We have decided that for now we would like to put our energies into other ways to create community and support creativity. Many thanks to everyone who came and joined us and made our idea into a reality. We learned a lot and had a great time !

Last week at Discovery Den we had our last session for this block, and our last ever session at The Swan !

Rachel & Claire are going to take some time over the summer to think about our next steps - which might be Den Mk 2 or something completely different ! We‘d like to thank Parul and the staff at the Swan for hosting the group for the last 1.5 years.

At our final session we played some Mario, made mocktails, played a loud pass the parcel and defeated a piñata, and ate pizza.

Unfortunately the Discovery Den session on Thursday 15 June has been cancelled due to flooding at The Swan after heavy rain today.

At last week's session there was a lot of slime making, a tasty curry with chapattis, and a bit of brush bot art !

Not many photos from our last session as we were too busy! We had our first Dungeons and Dragons session, fabric painted t-shirts, made lego animations and drank smoothies. There were also lots of groups chatting about lots of different things and just a generally happy atmosphere.

We welcomed the arrival of the sun at our session this week by making ice-cream sundaes. We had a go at making our own ice-cream too, and it was surprisingly successful (put cream and sugar in a small ziplock, put that inside a larger ziplock bag which contains ice cubes and salt, and shake).

When they weren't eating ice-cream, people were making slime, chatting about art, working on a movie, playing table football, and more !

This week at The Discovery Den, slime was still popular, excellent chilli was cooked under the direction of one of the young people, there was the start of a lego movie, the very hard jigsaw is still being completed, and one of the young people completed the chair training and chaired their first Den meeting. We spent a lot of the end meeting discussing ice-cream sundaes, which are on the menu for next week.

At this week's session we created a make your own trifle bar, with some very photogenic and tasty results ! Some people completed a difficult jigsaw only to find two pieces missing, we did more scar wax and face painting, and some decorated lizards invaded the pool table. There were also some moments of friction and areas where things don't feel quite like they are flowing as well as they could be. So we're going to talk about these some more next week, and see what we all think will help. We'll also be making cookie dough chocolate pie, slime will make a re-appearance, and hopefully we will have our first D&D session.

Warning: fake wound photos !

Last Thursday was our first session back after the Easter holidays. There was a failed attempt to complete a 1000 piece jigsaw in one session (it was very hard!), some people played fifa on the ps5, there was some planting in the courtyard, we ate bruschetta, and made some very realistic fake wounds !

The wounds are on the plan for next week, as well as face paint, board games, and build your own trifle !

There was slime and lots of cooking again at The Den last week. And we have become pros at both ! Lots of super coloured shaving foam slime, none went on the floor, and everyone helped clear up, and some fab cooking collaboration led by the young people making Easter cookies, pizza and raspberry sauce.
We also had a drawing session where people shared their skills, and there was time for a bit of knitting and a new board game.

Lots of food at last week's session - cheese balls, garlic bread, coke floats, boba and birthday cake ! There was also more slime (an experiment this week was pouring melted wax on top of it), a nail painting session, and lots of chatting.
