About the Easter Programme: “Make, Build, Create”:
We will be inviting 14–18 year olds from around Brislington and Bristol to take part in a three day creative programme.
It’s an exciting few days for attendees to enjoy testing, experimenting, and trying new things. It will be a space for us to play with ideas, imagine alternative creative approaches, and discover fresh ways to express ourselves.
The sessions are ultimately about freedom, with no pressure to aim for perfect results.
We are currently planning the programme to include:
Exploring creative techniques such as:
-Designing fonts from found objects
-Printmaking with Monotype, Tetra Pak, and more
-Collaborative large-scale paintings
-Building rapid sculptures with mixed materials
-Experimental collage-making
-Sculpting with clay and other tactile materials
Across the three days we will all learn:
-How to document and share creative processes
-Taking photography, using sketchbooks, and other methods to track ideas as they develop
-Work with found and recycled materials to build, construct and create at different scales
Next Steps:
Once applications are in, we will look through and select someone to collaborate with and shortlist people for an informal 15/20 minute chat either in person or on the phone.
You will be notified whether you’ve been selected or not.
The selected candidate will then attend two planning meetings with Holly to work together on the programme at a mutually available time, prior to April 2025.
We are particularly interested in working with someone who is local to the St Annes area. However, this is not essential to apply.
