Join visual artist Lindsay Viner in our under 18s art and craft holiday club and get creative with all things sweet in this playful, hands-on workshop inspired by delicious treats.

In this workshop you will explore a mix of textiles and paper-based techniques to create eye-catching artworks, from colourful donuts to beautifully layered cake designs.

You will learn simple stitching techniques as you design and make your own decorative donuts, developing fine motor skills while experimenting with colour, texture and embellishment. Alongside this, you will create cake collages using your own hand-printed papers, adding a personal and unique touch to your designs. This process introduces basic printmaking in a fun and accessible way, encouraging you to experiment with pattern and layering.

There will also be opportunities for additional themed crafts, allowing you to expand on your ideas and explore your creativity further.

This workshop is a joyful celebration of colour, texture and imagination, offering a welcoming space for you to make, experiment and enjoy the creative process.

Meet Your Tutor - lindsay viner

Lindsay is fascinated by the landscapes, places and stories of those who have gone before us and the ones that we give to those who come after us.

She predominantly use drawing and paint and reclaimed textiles to explore ideas about inheritance. How we receive and process the places, lands, thoughts, feelings and objects (and the marks on these things) that are handed down to us. And what we in turn, both consciously and unconsciously, choose to pass on. As the fourth generation of her family to live on the farm, with her son in the fifth, Lindsay’s work often centres around this particular small slice of the natural world in which she feels profoundly embedded.

​Reclaimed textiles have inherent notions of previous stories, often with coupled the intimacy of being associated with the body or the domestic, that can hold unique resonances; drawing and paint, for her, has a newness and immediacy that connects her to the subject in present, at that singular moment when her brush meets the canvas or paper.

Lindsay is passionate about encouraging other's creativity, and about the potential role for art and craft in our mental wellbeing and has worked as an artist and workshop leader for community groups, and particularly support groups for those with anxiety and depression for over 5 years.
