Featuring charcoal drawing, sweary pebble painting, castle building, dragon crafting and print making from established artists and organisations including Richard Rochester and Double Elephant Print, as well as some making sessions in the FabLab.

PAINTING SWEARY PEBBLES

Join the mischief with Artist Sarah McFloof in this workshop painting ceramic pebbles with sassy strokes. Design and paint your unique pebble letting the colours and cheekiness flow freely. Take your masterpiece home to use as personal mood-lifter or a surprise gift for a friend.

PRINTMAKING

Be led by Double Elephant in a giant collaborative print – using colourful rubber stamps and screenprints we’ll be making a huge natural world banner. Colourful teeming undersea worlds and beautiful gardens full of flowers. Make your own stamps and join the collaboration or print your own to take home.
