10:00-3:00 - full day
Age 9-14
Taught by Emma Prentice
Who says art belongs in a frame? Inspired by the mysterious and world-famous street artist Banksy, this workshop is all about making bold statements, creating eye-catching designs and discovering how artists can use their work to share ideas with the world.
Weather permitting we’ll kick things off outside the studio, using stencils and chalk to create collaborative street-art-inspired designs on the pavement. It’s a chance to experiment, work together and think big before heading back into the studio to develop individual ideas.
Artists will learn how to design and cut their own stencils before creating a safe, studio-friendly version of spray paint using powder paint mixtures. They’ll experiment with layering, spraying, masking and stencil techniques to create artwork with real street art style.
Throughout the day, we’ll explore how Banksy uses images to tell stories, spark conversations and draw attention to things that matter. Young artists will be encouraged to think about the causes, ideas and messages that are important to them, transforming their thoughts into powerful visual artwork.
Throughout the day, artists will explore some of Banksy’s most famous and thought-provoking artworks, discussing the messages, humour and social commentary hidden within each piece. Using a combination of stencils, spray-paint techniques and bold mark-making, they’ll create their own large-scale canvas inspired by the things they care about most. Whether it’s a message about friendship, the environment, kindness or something that makes them laugh, each artist will leave with a striking piece of artwork that says something about the world through their own eyes.
Creative, expressive and packed with experimentation, this workshop is perfect for artists aged 9+ who love making a statement, trying new techniques and creating art with something to say.
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!
