About this Event
You and your loved ones can have the opportunity to make amazing dreamcatchers, design and make your own tote bags, and bring language to life with paint in a special watercolour words session.
Each activity will be led by an incredibly talented artist who will take you through the skills needed to bring your ideas to life.
Each artist will be at the venue throughout, so you should be able to take part in each of these exciting sessions, or stick with one – the choice is yours!
Feel free to bring a packed lunch to enjoy with us, too.

Local illustrator and educator Katie Carter-Leay (Katie in Colour) will help your make your own printed tote bag.
Printmaking can often seem intimidating due to the need for complicated or expensive materials and resources but we will be using affordable, accessible materials such as craft foam and handmade stamps to learn more about relief-printing processes.
