Come and kick start your summer with the Creative Piazza's 10 things to do away from your screens. Through out the summer holidays WYPW will be running our Switch off series of drop in print sessions to get you away from your devices and get you being creative. Come and enjoy some hands on printmaking fun for all ages.
This summer, we're also introducing a brand new reward scheme to celebrate our most dedicated printmakers!
At each Summer Switch Off session, young people will be able to collect a special stamp on their reward card and, we’ve also got a brand new V.I.P. stamp, so you can proudly claim your status as a Very Important Printer!
Attend six or more sessions over the summer and you’ll earn a limited edition bronze wooden roller badge your very own creative badge of honour. Think of it like a Blue Peter badge, but inkier!
Stamps can be collected at each session, so come back often, get stuck in, and wear your roller badge with pride.
Our Family print sessions are drop in session for all ages aged 1-99 ( or beyond) and there's no booking necessary These are informal sessions that you can stay for 15 minutes at or an hour. Everyone is encouraged to participate and get inky. You don’t need to have your kids with you to join in, everyone is welcome!
There is no charge for the sessions but we do greatly appreciate donations for our 'pay what you feel' sessions, as they enable us to sustain these valuable community programmes.
(Tea and coffee is available to purchase during the session and a cosy corner is set up with soft rugs, cosy cushions and baby changing facilities nearby so you can dip in and out of the activity as you want to)
We can’t wait to celebrate your creativity, and inky adventures!
