Bonkers Bubble Art!

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Go bonkers this holiday with bubbles and string. It’s such fun to blow coloured bubbles onto paper to create a background and practice effects from pulling string.

Practice drawing a favourite animal for your picture. Finally, embellish, embellish, embellish.

Teens Pottery workshop: Doorway to Another World
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
It is often said that doors are portals to other places and sometimes even other worlds. In this workshop we will use traditional pottery handbuilding techniques to create our very own magical doors along with their setting and surroundings. As we sculpt, inspired by images and paintings, we will create stories to accompany the doors and further inform the details we add. Remember to come in old clothes as clay can be messy, and bring along some of your own images (ideally printed or drawn, if possible!) to add to the resources available on the day to draw inspiration from.
WHAT TO BRING:
Please bring with you a snack and a bottle of water, or there is a coffee bar on site. There will be a break to eat your snack during the workshop. Please wear old clothes and bring an apron and a cardboard box to take your creation home in!
