A summary
Join ceramic artist Emma Jayne Robertson for this free creative workshop for 10-16 year olds! Mon 02 Jan 2024 09:45 - 15:30. Design and create your own work of art, using a mixture of broken ceramic and glass pieces and other found objects, making a beautiful mosaic relief. This workshop is part of The Blank Page Project. Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include a free lunch, drinks and snacks! You will start the day designing your plaque. The idea is to incorporate a quotation or words into the design that encourages a positive attitude going into the New Year. Emma will provide templates of motifs and lettering for you to trace and put together to create your piece promoting positive thinking. After this, you will create your mosaic piece using a whole range of colourful media; broken crockery, mirror pieces, coloured glass, tile offcuts, buttons, shells and more. It is a great way to recycle! You can bring along any old, broken ceramic pieces, small shells, odd jewellery items or gems, that you might like to incorporate into your mosaic too. (Remember, these things will be broken up and permanently cemented into your mosaic, so make sure that they are suitable for this purpose; no family heirlooms!) Your work will be taken away at the end of the day to be grouted and polished. It will be delivered back to the library for you to collect at a later date (approx. 2 weeks). The wellbeing of our young people is really important to us and time outdoors is a key part of that. With this in mind, where possible a short walk or time outdoors will be incorporated into the workshop days. This will be supervised by the staff running the workshops and will also be weather dependent. Please ensure your child has a coat and sensible footwear! If your booking is made within 72 hours of the workshop, we may not be able to accommodate specific dietary requirements. Please get in touch with the library location for the workshop to discuss options. Please note that whilst we welcome all young people, our staff are not specifically SEND trained. This workshop is for 10-16 year olds only. If you feel your child requires additional support in the form of adult attendance in order to access this workshop, contact us by emailing katie.puls@suffolklibraries.co.uk. PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is held upstairs and the library does not have a lift. This workshop is therefore not accessible for wheelchair users.

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.
