Join artist John Powell Jones for a free creative gaming workshop inspired by tabletop role playing games for 13-17 year olds at Tate Liverpool.
Visitors will have the chance to play Assault on the Leviathan: A Web Wide World Story – a storytelling and puzzle-solving adventure game created by John. Through the game, players are encouraged to think creatively and work together to shape the story and you’ll use your characters’ unique skills, personalities and knowledge to explore the world and find solutions to the tasks at hand. While there will be hints and clues to guide you through the game, there are no strictly ‘right’ answers and how the challenges are overcome depends on the choices the players make.
You’ll also hear more about John’s artwork, which takes inspiration from gaming, comics, horror and science fiction.

You will use pre prepared solar plates and film positives to produce your own photopolymer prints. After a short introduction, you will get to learn hands on how to exposing a test plate, before making two plates of your own in A5 to ink and print on the beautiful traditional etching press.
This course is best suited for intermediate learners to explore and even try some experimental inking methods. All materials are provided, and correspondence with the tutor Bev Hayes will take place before the course start to prepare making the digital film in advance. By the end of the day you will cover all aspects of this alternative technique and create a small edition of prints.
Bev Hayes is an artist and printmaker from UK, and now based and working from a print studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. She has been working with the method of Photopolymer Gravure for over 5 years and regularly runs short courses in this method and exhibits her work at Art Fairs and Exhibitions in Galleries local and Internationally.
*IMPORTANT COURSE INFORMATION*
After booking, you must send a photo of the image/images you wish to use for the workshop to Bev by November 25th so she can pre-prepare your positives ahead of the workshop.

Spend a relaxing afternoon at Sudley House learning a new skill, getting to know new people, and making something to take home with you.
In this interactive session they will be designing soaps using the melt and pour method, incorporating smells, oils, colours, and dried flowers to create something unique to you. Everything you need will be on hand during the session and you will make a few bars of your own personalised soap to take home with you.
Their friendly facilitator will guide you through the process and there is no need to have any experience, just bring yourself and some enthusiasm.
Whilst soaps are drying, take the opportunity to head to the café for a chat. You never know, you might leave with a new friend as well as a new skill!
This session is perfect for adults over the age of 18 who are interested and inspired to continue creating.
Each ticket includes materials, facilitator and a hot drink in the café.
Especially for their youngest visitors! An opportunity for parents, grandparents and all carers to join with others at the gallery for creative play, songs, stories and more! Come and have fun and make memories with your little ones.

Scandal! Treachery! Fortunes! Foul Play! Dinosaurs!
During this study day they will not only look at what makes a fossil a dinosaur and how to recognise them but also the lives and shenanigans of Professors Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope as they dig, publish and decry each other over several decades in what became known as the Bone Wars!
There have been many scientists that have brought the dinosaurs to life within those two centuries but two rise above the rest from the beginning during the gilded age of science: both desperate to outdo each other to gain the prize of becoming Americas leading academic in the new subject of Vertebrate Palaeontology.
What started out as friendship then turned to rivalry before an all-consuming personal war of dirty tricks and scandalous newspaper headlines that damaged the reputations not only of the scientists involved but the entire scientific community of the young United States.
Itinerary:
11am-12pm What makes a dinosaur a dinosaur? (Short slide show & object handling)
12pm-1pm Bone Wars lecture
1-2pm Break for lunch
2pm-3pm Meet on Gallery for a short tour and any questions.
