10:00-3:00 - full day
Age 9-16
Taught by Emma Prentice
Baked beans. Tomato soup. Spaghetti hoops. The humble tin can is something we see every day - but have you ever stopped to look at just how clever its design really is?
In this imaginative printmaking workshop, young artists will begin by exploring the shapes, colours, logos and packaging of some of our favourite tinned foods. Through drawing, observation and discussion, we’ll discover how designers use images, typography and colour to make products instantly recognisable.
We’ll also take inspiration from one of the most famous artists of the twentieth century, Andy Warhol, whose iconic Campbell’s Soup prints transformed everyday supermarket items into works of art.
From there, we’ll move into the exciting world of printmaking. Artists will experiment with a range of printing techniques, including monoprinting and simple lino printing, learning how artists and designers create bold, repeatable images. Using the skills they’ve learned, they’ll design and print their own unique tin can artwork -whether that’s a traditional food tin or something far more imaginative. Dragon Soup? Moonlight Beans? Mermaid Spaghetti? Anything is possible!
As well as creating beautiful prints, young artists will discover connections between art, design, advertising and art history, all woven naturally into a day of creative exploration.
This is a brilliant introduction to printmaking for curious and creative children who enjoy drawing, designing and experimenting with new techniques.
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!
