Journey Stick Sculpture – Peel & Paint

The Session:

You’ll whittle (peel) away the bark and transform one or more sticks into a spectrum of colours.

1. Watch a demo.
2. Collect your potato peeler (if possible, bring your own).
3. Select your paints.
4. Create your sculptural art.
5. Wash your brushes.
6. Return the paints.
7. I’ll display your art to dry.

All artwork produced will be used to create a sculpture.

Subscribe and leave your details, and you’ll be invited to the opening of your work being exhibited.

Theme:

Perhaps use colours that remind you of your favourite place, somewhere you’ve travelled from or to. Maybe use colours of your dream destination.

Your journey stick will be featured in a collaborative community sculpture.

How about using colours of cultural heritage, for example flag colour palettes, or symbolic colours.

Families and friends could work together on one stick, or create their own

Times:

11am start with last entry at 3.30pm.

30 mins to 1 hour session, depending on how mindful or energetic you decide to craft. Depending on bookings/drop ins you could produce more than one artwork.

Closed for Dew Dance’s ‘Under the Trees‘ performance between 12-12.30 and 2-2.30pm. Why not take part in my workshop before or after.

Accessibility:

SEND friendly (invisible and physical disabilities). There are steps to this spacious arts centre, so if this challenges you, please see my event on Saturday.

Multi-generational event:

Solo participants may find this workshop meditative and a good chance to meet new people. Whilst groups can create art as individuals or collectively.

Free bookings are preferred on Eventbrite or simply stop by and join in.

• Babies can finger paint.
• Children aged 2 to 11 (parent supervision).
• Aged 12 to senior citizens.

Why come:

“We don’t remember days. We remember moments.” Cesare Pavese, Italian novelist.

Escape the family or bring the family! It’s fun and free!

Plus your effort will be part of a collaborative sculpture, to bring more beauty into the community.

Doing our bit:

Environmentally repurposing wood, as it’s a sustainable material for art, wellbeing and functional products.
