A free summer programme for young people aged 11-18 (up to 25 for those with SEND) which encourages participation in culture and creativity through doing making and creating.
Come down to St George's Park to hang out and get involved in activities. We will be by the Mermedelica Cafe in the middle of the park. If it's raining we will retreat to the Drill House.
There will be creative workshops, games, sports, circus, crafts and more - so there will be something for everyone. If you would rather bring your own thing to do or just chill with your friends, that is totally fine too.
No need to book - just turn up!
TetraPak Printmaking Workshop
In this workshop you will learn how to make printing blocks, engrave your design, then apply ink and print using a press. The unique nature of the deconstructed packaging with its folds and creases can be incorporated into a design or separate motifs can be cut out of individual flat areas.The workshop is suitable for all abilities, even if you think you can’t draw as pictures/ideas can be traced onto the Tetra Pak.
Zine-making workshop
A zine is actually the opposite of a magazine - they are DIY, cheap and a form of self-expression. We will learn how to make a zine from a single piece of paper and then use collage and other art materials to create a series of images that represent us or something we want to say.
Great Yarmouth Guardians
Create your own superhero that will form part of a large comic book mural. Set in a post-apocalyptic Great Yarmouth our heroes battle to save the planet from environmental disaster. During the workshops we will explore character creation, storytelling and additional skills like drawing scenery. At the end of summer the mural will be shown at the Marina Leisure Centre.
