Library: Lowestoft Library, Clapham Road South, Lowestoft NR32 1DR 22 December: Build a Time Capsule Workshop with Poet Emma Rogerson 23 December: Create Your Own Animated Character with Illustrator Eloise Cookson Workshop details: Monday 22 December 09:45am - 15:30pm Build a Time Capsule Workshop with Poet Emma Rogerson To celebrate the new year, we’ll be working to create our very own time capsules! In this workshop, led by local poet and artist Emma Rogerson, you'll get to make a personalised time capsule, full of collage, writing and art to be opened in 2027. You'll also get a chance to learn more about different kinds of time capsules and even write a letter to your future self. About Emma: Emma (she/her) is an award-winning writer, performance maker, researcher and visual artist from Lancashire, currently based in Norfolk. Her writing has been commissioned and performed across the UK: in theatres, museums, schools, galleries, outdoors and online. Recent projects include a residency at Suffolk Community Libraries, performing at Hay Festival and holding a scholarship as Resident Artist with the European Theatre Convention. Tuesday 23 December 09:45am - 15:30pm Create Your Own Animated Character with Illustrator Eloise Cookson Whether this is your first time creating your own character or you already have existing characters, this workshop will support and level up your character designing skills! In this workshop, Eloise will first introduce some character design principles she uses in her own process with examples from animated media and comics. There will be different character designing activities throughout the day, taking inspiration from objects, nature, and your own passions and interests. You will learn how to practically incorporate these concepts when creating original characters. By the end of the day, you will get to go home with your very own character concepts and illustrations and an idea of the world they live in, that can keep expanding long after the workshop. About Eloise: Eloise is a local artist who specialises in digital art. Her work takes inspiration from manga, graphic novels, video games and animation as well as alternative fashion communities she is a part of. As an artist who started drawing digitally from the age of 10, Eloise is deeply passionate about providing resources and guidance to young people with an interest in digital art. Eloise is also a dedicated member of the team at Stowmarket library and brings with her years of experience facilitating workshops and activity in the library space.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
