Spend a relaxing afternoon in Sudley House Art Gallery learning a new skill and getting to know new people. In this session they will be creating unique artworks using the technique of paint mixing and pouring to create truly unique pieces.
Their friendly facilitator will guide you through the process to create a selection of smaller and larger artworks for you to take home.
There is no need to have any experience, just bring yourself and some enthusiasm. Whilst your works are drying they will 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 artwork!
This session is perfect for adults over the age of 18 who are interested and inspired to continue making art. Your £20 ticket includes materials, a facilitator and a hot drink in the café.
Please note that it may take a while for your works to dry and so it may be necessary for you to return to Sudley House later that week to collect your pieces.
This session is perfect for adults over the age of 18 who are interested and inspired to continue making art.
Tickets are £20 and includes materials, facilitator, and a hot drink in the café.

Learn to weave on this two day rigid heddle loom weaving workshop in Liverpool
In this weaving workshop you’ll learn
*how to create a design
* how to warp your rigid heddle loom
* how to weave with neat edges
* how to sew a hem stitch to give your work a beautiful finish
* how to weave with pick up sticks
* finishing techniques
They will ask your colour choices and dye gorgeous yarns for you to weave with over the two days. We want you to have a real treat.
This workshop gives the time and space to take your time learning to weave, giving you the opportunity to ask those questions and build your confidence.
What’s included?
Drinks and cake is included, lunch isn’t, although there is a great cafe on site who serve veggie and vegan options too. You are welcome to bring along a packed lunch.
Each day runs from 10am till 4pm
The venue is Luna Meeting Room, Ryde Cafe, Mann Street L8 5AF
They can provide you a rigid heddle loom, or if you have one that you’re struggling to get the hang of, bring it on the day – learn to weave on your own loom! You could alternatively purchase a loom from them and they will bring it on the day and can put it together for you.
They will be using larger looms so that they can have a big beautiful piece at the end. You will learn to weave using different techniques, so you could use it as a sample piece, or if you wanted to make something to show off, they can do that too!
This reading and discussion group will focus on Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, the multi-disciplinary poet, filmmaker, and artist, and her groundbreaking work Dictee (1982).
Wed 2 Apr, 5.30-7.30pm
Led by poet Jennifer Lee Tsai, currently an Artist in Residence at Bluecoat through the Wittenham Bursary, we will read and share our thoughts, ideas, and reflections on this powerful and innovative work in an inclusive, friendly, and encouraging space. All are welcome.
