A new addition for this year, you will be able to take part in some artistic activities and, in between events, we hope to have a few local musicians providing a backdrop to the wonderful beauty of the gardens.
Pottering about!
Try your hand at a little pottery. Winnifred Wright from The Wave, who runs pottery classes as well as her lovely shop, will be on hand to guide festival-goers who don’t mind getting their hands dirty through the pottery process.
Making small items from clay slabs, you’ll get a photograph of your finished masterpiece. In the interests of sustainability, the clay will be recycled for someone else to have a go!
It’s all fun, but you might just catch the pottery bug…
Pottery Taster is now taking place at the pottery in Hamilton Street, a short walk away, from 11am – 1pm, Sat and Sun
Design your own Print!
Catrin Jeans, a local community artist, will give you a chance to design your own postcards using traditional printmaking techniques.
Printmaking goes back thousands of years and, while digital printing has now almost completely taken over, there is always a place for creative printmaking in art.
Let your creative juices flow and, when you’ve finished, you can take it with you, or sign it, and we’ll stick them up around the garden.
Who knows, there might even be a prize for the best one…
There’s no need to book, just turn up and give it a go. We don’t have exact timings but check out the blackboard at the box office for details on the day.
