Lego Printing Workshop for Kids with Sombrero printmaking

In this exciting 1–1.5 hour session, kids can turn their favourite building bricks into creative tools—using Lego to design their own printing plates. They’ll then bring their ideas to life by printing bold, colourful patterns onto card and paper, creating artwork that’s completely unique. Every young artist will leave with a collection of their own handmade prints to take home and treasure. All materials and equipment are provided, so they can dive straight into the fun. While it’s not the messiest activity, printing can get a little inky—so we recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind getting creative in. Best to save your favourite outfits for another day! No experience is needed at all—just imagination! This is a relaxed, friendly workshop packed with ideas, encouragement, and hands-on support to help every child create something they’re proud of.

Wednesday Walk – Danebower Hollow

The meeting place is in Wildboarclough, a short distance N. E.(upstream) from the disused quarry below Shuttlingsloe, where we have parked in the past, a formal car park on the RHS, just above the script “Clough House” on the O.S. map, approx SJ988698. Please assemble at 10.30 for 10.45. The plan is to make an anti clockwise loop, on a surfaced road originally, then crossing the A54 and descending into the Goyt. From here we shall walk upstream past Three Shires Head to Danebower Quarries, whence firstly towards the Cat and Fiddle and then SW through the best and remotest territory ( which I hope may be fresh to some) to close the circle. As always, I hope we can share vehicles and I would be happy to take three passengers (dogs acceptable).
