Friday 31st October 2025
10:00-3:00 - full day
Age 7-14
Taught by Emma Prentice
On the very last day of the holidays we’ll be celebrating the vibrant Mexican festival Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This full-day workshop is bursting with colour, pattern, and creativity. Children will begin by learning how to draw their own sugar skull doodles, adding decorative details, patterns, and bold pops of colour. Once their drawings are complete, we’ll transfer these designs onto fabric and transform them into something really special.
Using embroidery hoops as frames, we’ll build up each sugar skull with layers of stitching, felt, sequins, pom-poms, and embellishments to give them a lively 3D effect. By the end of the day, every child will take home not only a bundle of unique sugar skull artworks on paper, but also a vibrant textile hoop artwork to display proudly.
This is a workshop filled with imagination, fun, and festive spirit, perfect for finishing the holidays on a high, while learning new skills in drawing, textiles, and mixed media.
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!
