MAKING MYTHS

We can’t wait to begin this year’s series of Kind to the Mind sessions, where children are encouraged to play and experiment with new ideas, materials and creative techniques. We will be delving into old stories and traditions whilst bringing a contemporary twist to this series of workshops run by local artists.

This is a great opportunity for children to spend time getting to know each other and working with artists to develop mindfulness through creativity.

April 27 – Liam Rickard - Creature Comics: Join Liam for a comics and drawing workshop inspired by the tale of the misunderstood 'afanc'.

May 4^th – Bethany Clewes - Sculpting Creatures - We will delve into the magical land of Annwn, discover and bring to life the curious creatures that dwell there.

May 11th – Nicky Arscott – Mythical Costumes: Using local found and natural materials we will create costumes and stories inspired by different folk traditions.

May 18^th - Nicky Arscott – Animal Life Drawing: sketching and clay sculpture making, we will also learn about the role of different animals in Welsh stories and legends.

May 25^th - Bethany Clewes - Creating Otherworlds - using things that'd usually make their way into the recycling, PVA and magazine collage we will create the mystical land of Annwn.
