Squidgy Pictures Workshop

Workshop: Squidgy Pictures

26 & 28 August 2026 - 11:00, 12:00, 14:00, 15:00 | £5/child | Age 4+

In this playful painting workshop, children will use paint dots, lines, and simple mark-making techniques to create their own unique 'Squidgy Picture'!

Inspired by the joy of experimenting with colour, pattern, and texture, children will explore different ways of applying paint to build up a one-of-a-kind artwork.

There’s no right or wrong approach, just plenty of opportunities to get creative, try new ideas, and enjoy the process of making art.

No previous experience is needed, and all materials are provided.

Booking required. Spaces are limited, so reserve yours today!

Who needs a ticket? Children aged 4+ (£5 per child); adult accompaniment required. Adults attend free.

What to bring? Just enthusiasm and creativity! All materials provided.
