ART & GAMES FOR WELLBEING
ABOUT US
Awen reflects the Celtic notion of a living, inspired current that moves everything forward. At Awen Studio we harness that current by offering programs that encourage purposeful play, celebrate cultural heritage, and provide every community member, whether child or elder, with the momentum to create and share their own artistic voices.
Free Create
& Play Days
Whether your child is home educated, finding school difficult, or simply thrives better in smaller, quieter spaces join us every Tuesday at Awen Studio 1pm to 5pm.
We open our doors to young people aged 10-16 and their parents or carers for a free, informal creative day. Come along, get creative, play some games, and meet new people in our friendly, inclusive studio space. Sessions are completely free but donations towards materials welcome.
Create & Play Days, Tuesdays, 1pm to 5pm
Free creative sessions for young people and their families
A relaxed, welcoming space where young people can make, play, explore and just be, at their own pace, in their own way.
Every Tuesday at Awen Studio, we open our doors to young people and their parents or carers for a free, informal creative day. There's clay, paint, art materials and games to explore, a friendly space to settle into, and no pressure to perform or produce. Come and go as suits you. Stay as long as you like.
Whether your child is home educated, finding school difficult, or simply thrives better in smaller, quieter spaces — Create & Play Days are designed with them in mind. Parents and carers are warmly welcome to stay, make something themselves, or simply breathe.
No structured classes. No fixed outcomes. Just time and space to create and play.
Upcoming Classes & Workshops
We’re living through a golden age of innovation in analog gaming. As our lives become increasingly fast, remote and digital, slower tactile experiences that ground us in our bodies, in the full richness of a shared experience of the here and now, are all part of a broader movement: a return to what makes us feel human.
When: Every Tuesday 6pm - Late
Where: Haverhub, Quay St., Haverfordwest
Cost: £6 on the door / £5 booked in advance
Looking for a friendly, inclusive space to express yourself, make new friends, and dive into hands‑on creativity? Join us every Thursday for a 90‑minute escape from screens and routine, packed with art, crafts, and games.
At the Art & Games Social you’ll have unlimited access to a wide range of art supplies. From quick sketches to bold paintings, imaginative fanzines, original character designs, vibrant collages, hand‑crafted clay sculptures, and even custom clothing and bags, our sessions cover countless creative projects—and there’s always something new to discover.
If art isn’t your thing, we’ve got hundreds of modern designer board games and shelves brimming with inspiring fiction and non‑fiction titles. Whether you’re a budding Picasso, a curious explorer, or a tabletop enthusiast, there’s always something exciting to try and new friends to meet.
At the end of the 7-week programme we will host an Open Studio Exhibition and invite the community in to see what our wonderfully creative young people have produced.
Come unleash your creativity, discover your flow, meet new friends, and enjoy a screen‑free, supportive space for self‑expression.
When: 4pm to 5.30pm. Every Thursday - 4th June to 16th July
Open Studio Exhibition: Saturday 1st August
Where: Awen Studio, 13 Victoria Place, Haverfordwest
Cost: £70 for 7 Sessions.
Includes all materials and soft drinks.
Booking: Small class sizes so booking is essential.
Discover, Play, and Master the Timeless Game of Go.
FIRST SESSION IS FREE!
This ancient game — known to the Chinese as Weiqi, Go in Japanese, Baduk in Korean — is the world’s oldest, continuously‑played board game, the rules of which have remained relatively unchanged for over 3000 years. From the simplest of rules emerges a game of astonishing complexity, the mastery of which ultimately requires both hard-earned strategy and intuitive confidence in new and complex tactical situations.
Join us to explore The Shape of Things, a tutor-led workshop where you'll playfully develop your own unique response to the exhibition using a range of mediums. After a short break, we'll continue our journey by uncovering the hidden 'shape' of the natural world: discovering how the Golden Ratio (Phi) quietly sculpts pine cones and sunflowers, and learning to apply these ancient geometric spirals to create a unique composition. No prior experience is needed, just bring your curiosity and leave your mark.
10am-12pm. £15.
