Skatin' and Art Makin'

The Spit it Out Festival

Art and Skate

The session will commence with a relaxed and engaging sit-down workshop, carefully crafted to immerse you in the captivating art of lino cutting.

Our instructors will expertly navigate you through the intricate process, ensuring that every participant receives personalized guidance and ample opportunity to explore their creativity. Equipped with all the necessary materials and insights, you'll have the opportunity to create a print you can take home with you.
Following the lino cutting, the atmosphere will shift to one of adrenaline as we transition to an hour of skating. Led by our dedicated team of qualified coaches, this skating segment promises excitement and learning in equal measure. Whether you're a seasoned skater or taking your first tentative steps into the park, our coaches will be by your side, ready to offer support and encouragement to help you find your balance and confidence.
Throughout the entire session, the workshop space will serve as a nurturing environment, fostering open dialogue, camaraderie, and a sense of community. It's not just about creating art or mastering a new skill—it's about forging connections, embracing challenges, and experiencing the joy of self-expression in a safe and inclusive setting. So, come join us for a session filled with creativity, movement, and community!

Community Care

At SiO we don't believe in the idea of a safe space as we recognise in all spaces we can be harmed, triggered or feel discomfort from other people's experiences. Instead, we believe in informed spaces.

To ensure that the SiO festival is an informed, supportive and inspiring place to be, we have created these community guidelines and encourage all those participating in our events to read, follow and adhere to these measures to ensure an optimum outcome for all.

Traffic Lights

To help people emotionally prepare we have introduced a traffic light system to forewarn the likeliness of triggering content being discussed at our events.

Red = WILL provoke difficult conversations

Amber = LIKELY to provoke difficult conversations

Green = UNLIKELY to provoke difficult conversations (not guaranteed)

Please use this system as guidance only and if you have any further questions about the event just get in touch with our festival team at [email protected]
