Inspired by Mesopotamian Art – Bas Relief Workshop,
with Darota Rapacz
Saturday 25th January 2025
10:30am – 4:30pm (at Artspace Cinderford)
Cost: £75/ *£55 concessions including materials
Mesopotamia, the land “between two rivers” – present day Iraq, was home to the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. We are going to look at a few images of some relief works from that period, think about possible interpretations of their meaning, make copies or use the same style, but with content more relevant to the present day. We will sculpt it in clay, which will be fired once it’s dried out.
The workshop is intended for all levels of experience.
Free refreshments. Lunch not provided.
The Joy of Singing! with Lisa Jenkinson
Saturday 22nd February 2025
10:30am – 4:30pm (at Artspace Cinderford)
Cost: £60/ *£45 concessions
On this one day workshop you’ll find your voice and learn how to sing from the heart! You will learn a professional vocal warm up and how to harmonise and sing in rounds. We will look at singing posture and how to support the breath
for strong vocals. We will learn and practice two songs to perform at the end of the workshop.
No previous experience is necessary and all abilities are welcome.
Free refreshments. Lunch not provided.

Though not the easiest thing to do, the aim is to have a hands on experience, have fun and end up with one small pot. This will then be glazed & fired on your behalf for collection from Artspace and is included in the price.
This is for adults and beginners with no potting experience, who will have a wheel each.
There are four places available, and will be allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis.
