Autumn Newsletter

From South West Art Workshops

Autumn is finally here and with it comes some excellent opportunities to get creative! From pumpkin carving to clowning around for Hallowe'en to sparklers and fireworks for Bonfire night, Autumn is one of our favourite seasons here at South West Art Workshops. Here's a look at what we've been up to over the past few weeks.

An image from our fantastic Light Graffiti Workshop

One of our talented artists recently delivered a wonderful light graffiti workshop at a school in Street. The students had a wonderful time and the images they produced were just breathtaking. Light graffiti is a way to create magical photographs and animations using lights and long exposure photography.

This is a great workshop to do now the nights are drawing in and for those with small children it's a great alternative to fireworks.

Thanks to Andy O'Rourke for the stunning images!

Fabulous Feedback

We're very proud of all our artists here at South West Art Workshops and this month is no different;

"I just wanted to email you about Megan who came to work with us today and yesterday and say what an absolute joy she has been these past few days. She was enthusiastic, great with the children and had planned truly fantastic workshops. We couldn't sing her praises enough.
We will definitely put her on our list for next year's Art week!
Thanks again for organising and recommending a great artist.

Megan delivers a number of our workshops including Mandala Making, Batik, Puppet Making, Venetian Mask Making, Textile Wall Hangings, Disco Bingo and many, many more! Get in touch if you'd like to book Megan for your school's arts week.

Clowning around

We've had a really good think about clowns this month. The scary clowns phenomenon has annoyed some and terrified others. Read our blog about what we think here and join the conversation.

The 'C' word (Christmas!)

We're also beginning to think about our plan for Christmas. We offer lots of creative christmas craft workshops for both children and adults. Take a look at our workshops here or email us if there's something you'd like to try but can't find it!
