The Art House is delighted to be delivering four free Art Club workshops for 48 children in Wakefield. 24 of the spaces will be reserved for children who face disadvantages or barriers to arts participation and to support community integration, collaborating with partners in Wakefield’s Strategic Sanctuary Network, including Urban House (Wakefield’s Initial Accommodation Centre ‘IAC’), and Lawfield Primary School.
Activities will introduce the Galleries and Urban Garden, before providing hands-on printmaking activities, led by practising artists in our professional Maker Spaces. Using block/screen-printing techniques, they will create artworks/maps inspired by THE HERDS route, incorporating organic materials like herbs, plants and leaves, and using printing inks made from vegetables and plants.
Using art activities to promote the conversation about climate change, inspiring awareness and action among young participants, each workshop will support 12 children encouraging exploration of age-appropriate and positive migration journeys.
