Easter Holiday Activities
Published Wednesday, 23 March 2011
Sessions will include painting like Picasso, jewellery making, sock monkey workshops and paper sculpture.
Kettering Borough Council is offering local children the opportunity to work, learn and play with local artists in the town centre this Easter holiday.
Sessions will include painting like Picasso, jewellery making, sock monkey workshops and paper sculpture. They are the perfect way for children to learn from skilled artists, all of whom are part of the excellent Open Studios initiative.
It is the first time we have worked so closely with such a range of local artists to deliver activities. The principle has been extremely successful with sports schemes, where we have found that children love the opportunity to develop their skills with locally based experts.
The sessions will take place in the former Tourist Information Centre building on Sheep Street. Sessions will be limited to twelve children and we expect them to be full, meaning advance booking is essential. Bookings can be made by calling 01536 315115 or by visiting our offices on Bowling Green Road.
