Saturday 31st January – Making Monsters
Use cardboard, fabric, string, and feathers to make your own monster! Inspired by artists Jake Chapman and Alejandro Ospina, this workshop celebrates “mistakes” and unexpected results.
Saturday 7th February – Paper Mâché Fun
Build abstract sculptures using balloons, cardboard, tape, and bendable wire, before coating them in colourful paper mâché, inspired by Olivia Bax’s vibrant, playful creations.
Please note, the works you create in this session will take a while to dry – we recommend bringing a carrier bag to take it home.
Saturday 14th February – Valentine’s Day Card-Making
Design and decorate handmade Valentine cards using collage and drawing. Notes can be made for loved ones, friends, or a special message for yourself!
You do not need a ticket to The Long Now to attend, however you can visit the exhibition on the same day by booking a ticket in advance .
These workshops are free of charge, with a suggested donation amount of £5. If you wish to support our charity, we would greatly appreciate a donation so we can continue to make art accessible to all. Select the donation price when booking, or donate in person at the Gallery.
