Are you aged 15-21 and living or studying in Islington? Join us for our Getting Creative workshops in partnership with Mary's Youth Club.
The workshops will give you the opportunity to explore new ways of making including jewellery, screen printing and stop motion animation. You'll get creative coaching to help you find out your own creative strengths, and during the summer there'll be the opportunity to take over Crafts Council's gallery with your own event! We are also offering Silver Arts Award as an additional qualification that you can achieve as part of attending.
Attendees can sign up by emailing Rosie at: r_mitchell@craftscouncil.org.uk or Sally at Mary’s Youth Club at: sally.baxter@marys.org.uk
