SUMMARY:Summer Art Club: Flower Meadows
DESCRIPTION:Summer Art Club: Flower Meadows\nA new Summer Art Club session for children aged 7–12 years inspired by the colours\, shapes and textures of flower meadows. \nIn this session\, children will design and build their own richly textured meadow scene\, exploring layering\, pattern\, collage and colour. Using simple circular forms as a starting point\, they’ll develop a lively composition full of detail and movement\, while gaining confidence working with different materials and techniques. The focus is on experimentation\, creative decision-making and enjoying the process of making artwork from start to finish. \nThe session is led by professional artist Emma\, who brings extensive experience in both fine art and education. After completing a Fine Art and Art History degree at Newcastle University\, Emma has worked in heritage and learning environments alongside her own creative practice in painting\, drawing and printmaking. Her work has been published in art books and guides\, and exhibited at venues including Covent Garden in London and the Hatton Gallery in Newcastle. She now focuses on delivering engaging art workshops for adults and children\, encouraging creativity and confidence in a supportive setting. \nAll materials are provided. Parking is included in the ticket price. \n  \nCancellation Policy  \nCancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 4 weeks before the course starts. Cancellations made within 4 weeks of the session are non-refundable. In exceptional circumstances\, please speak to our team so we can discuss how we may be able to accommodate you. \nUnder the Consumer Contracts Regulations\, bookings made online may be eligible for a 14-day cooling-off period.

SUMMARY:Tinsmithing workshops
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\nThis critically endangered heritage craft is being kept alive at Stanwick Lakes — and you can be a part of it! Learn the skills of tin-smithing from one of the last tinsmiths in the country. \nTinplate – a thin sheet of iron or steel coated with pure tin – is strong\, lightweight\, durable\, food safe and resembles silver. During the 18th and 19th centuries it was ubiquitous in home\, work and military life\, with every town having its own “Tinman & Brazier.” Tin-smithing is now classified by the Heritage Crafts Association as critically endangered and at serious risk of no longer being practised in the UK. \nDuring the day you’ll learn the core processes – measuring\, cutting with tin-snips\, burring\, forming\, wiring\, seaming and soldering — and make a wall hanging candle sconce plus your choice of a pastry cutter\, a candle holder\, or cup to take home. No experience is needed; the course is suitable for adults of any ability\, limited to six participants. Teenagers 16+ are welcome with adult supervision. \nThe course takes place in a purpose-built oak framed craft barn at Stanwick Lakes\, a protected Nature Reserve and Wetland of International Importance covering 750 acres. \nParking is included in the ticket price. Tickets are £120 per person per one day workshop. Three workshops are available to book – Sunday 26th July\, Saturday 29th August or Sunday 30th August. \nBook now \nAbout the Tutor\nYour tutor is John Wills\, one of the last three professional tinsmiths in Britain. In 2022\, as part of a Heritage Crafts Association project to rescue tinsmithing\, he trained under master tinsmith Karl Schmidt (Dakota Tinworks\, USA) and subsequently built a new tinman & brazier workshop to keep the craft alive. He is a Yeoman of the Worshipful Company of Tinplate Workers Alias Wire Workers of the City of London. \nCancellation policy: Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 4 weeks before the course starts.
