Monday 3rd August 2026
10:00-3:00 - full day
Age 7-14
Taught by Emma Prentice
What makes you you?
In this creative workshop, young artists will spend the day turning their interests, hobbies, favourite things and big ideas into a giant doodle-filled self-portrait. Using simple biros, they’ll create a page bursting with drawings, words, symbols and sketches that tell the story of who they are.
Once their doodle masterpiece is complete, they’ll learn how to transfer their designs onto fabric using a light box before bringing everything to life with simple embroidery stitches. As they stitch over their drawings, they’ll discover how sewing can be used as another way of drawing, creating bold lines, patterns and details with thread.
By the end of the workshop, each artist will have created a unique stitched hoop artwork that celebrates their personality and interests. The embroidery hoop becomes a ready-made frame, making it the perfect piece to display proudly on a bedroom wall.
Part doodling, part storytelling and part stitching, this is a workshop for creative thinkers who love to fill pages with ideas and want to learn a new skill along the way. A wonderful introduction to embroidery, self-expression and the art of drawing with thread. 🧵
Where will the workshops take place?
At the Beth Morris Workshops studio, The Dairy in the grounds of Insole Court, Cardiff. The children will create together around a large table.
Do they need a packed lunch and snacks?
Yes, they can sit in the workspace outside the studio, and in drier weather on the immediate paved /grassed area by the window. The tutor will be setting up for the next task at lunch so your child will need to be able to entertain themselves and chat with new friends. We cannot allow children to visit the cafe area if they are left in our care, so please supply a packed lunch, and drinks. You could also pick your child up at lunch time if you’d prefer.
Is there a discount for siblings?
Of course. If you are booking more than one child in the same household (siblings) onto a course please use the code WEAREFAMILY to take 10% off your overall in-person workshop booking. Please don’t use the code unless you are booking for siblings though. This is not a code for parents to book 2 friends on. It’s to support families with more than one child attending 😊 This code is only for children’s holiday workshops.
Do I have to adhere to the age guidelines when booking?
Yes please. I have years of teaching experience and I am the Mum of three, so I set the age limits for a reason. The tasks are age appropriate and the children / young people should all feel comfortable with their peers.
My child has additional learning needs - Is the workshop suitable?
We can not offer 1:1 support unfortunately, but if they can work semi-independently with 14 peers, they will love our fun inclusive and relaxed workshops. The tutor will make sure they understand the tasks and support them within the session. On booking, please email info@bethmorrisworkshops.co.uk with any extra information that will help us support your child so we can be fully prepared. You know your child best so please talk to us so we can help.
Does my child need to bring any materials or art supplies?
No, all materials are included in the price of the workshop, just don’t wear your best clothes!
