Creative Activities for Children- February Half Term

Be Creative - Holiday Workshops for children

The Be Creative workshops have become increasingly popular and spaces fill quickly.  The activities,which include art and picture making, experience of the traditional craft of felt making and a ceramic or sculptural activity provide a variety of approaches to suit the needs and interests of a range of children between the ages of 7 and 14 years of age. If it is an activity that your children would be interested, check out the latest photos and ring the gallery on 0116 222 7886  to book a place or go to the gallery website.

Fixers

We were privileged to host a group of creative young people  who call themselves 'Fixers', in the gallery last week. This group aim to make a difference and change things for the better.Fixers is a project of the Public Servicing Broadcasting Trust, funded by the National Lottery and featured on ITV.

These young people,aged between 16 to 25, work alongside a committed team of project and media experts and tackle issues through a range of creative opportunities.

More information about this project can be found on

It is worth having a look at this link which illustrates beautifully Maria's experience on a recent felting workshop, here at the gallery. Check out her blog entry, 'One I made earlier - nuno scarf workshop'.
