Across two sessions, you’ll build and decorate your own hare, cat, or dog sculpture using paper, recycled materials, paint, and hand-printed lino designs, working from a pre-made forma throughout.

Part 1 – Fri 11 Sep, 10:30am-3:30pm

Build your sculpture using papier-mâché and recycled materials, then design a simple motif and carve it into an easy-cut lino block.

Print your design onto A2 lining paper and leave both prints and sculptures to dry.

Part 2 – Sat 19 Sep, 10:30am-3:30pm

Paint your dried sculpture with gesso, cut out your lino prints and decorative details, then assemble and layer everything onto your piece.

Add colour, pattern, and finishing touches to bring your characterful animal to life.

You’ll leave with a completed vintage-inspired animal sculpture featuring your own printed motifs and decorative details.

No experience needed; suitable for beginners and the art curious.

Please note this is a two-part workshop taking place over two weeks, and participants are expected to attend both sessions to complete their sculpture.

Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafés.

This workshop is suitable for ages 16+.
