Take home your lovely framed artwork ready to display. All abilities welcome. The class includes a delicious homemade cake and hot drink. Previous Next About your tutor Judy Goring As far back as I can remember I have loved Art and creativity. This led to Art College, training and practising as a Graphic Designer, gaining a degree in Art History, teaching Art and Textile Arts at secondary school and becoming a Specialist Teacher for the Vision Impaired. Of course my greatest achievement has been having two wonderful children and staying happily married to my lovely hubby! For the last 20 years I have had the privilege of leading Art and Craft workshops for a variety of groups and at Create98 since 2021. My regular commitment here is to the midweek Art Hub with a great group of 11-16 year olds, but I also very much enjoy sharing my passion for all things creative with anyone keen to learn new skills and make something uniquely individual to them. The lucky part of this is that I've been able to experiment and play with a myriad of wonderful materials before teaching others how to use them! I work with all ages and my aim is to show each one how to use a variety of 2D and 3D materials and then let the creative juices flow.

Squishy workshop

Once your squishies are finished, you’ll decorate your storage box so everything stays together. Age guidance Suitable for ages 10+ Younger children are welcome if they attend with an adult Please note: there will be tying knots in balloons and a couple of fiddly steps , so younger makers may need hands-on help.
