We work with a wide range of artists who like to share their expertise and skills with young people in full day workshops across the longer school holidays. The students who attend our workshops are looking for new and diverse opportunities to discover new art forms and creative use of technologies. Previous examples of Blank Page workshops include SFX make up, computer coding, writing and recording a song in a day, journal making and stop motion animation. We're interested to hear your original ideas for fresh and fun workshop concepts that will keep 10-16 year olds engaged! Artists should have experience in working with the age range of children and be competent in leading and teaching their preferred art form to groups of between 12 and 20 students. Artists are required to be available for an initial planning meeting, order their own supplies and materials and to be on site on the day of their workshop from 9-4. 9:45am - Workshop arrival, young people to register and fill in their lanyard. Artists can complete the form on our website https://suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk/children-and-teens/the-blank-page-project/artist-callout/Job Summary
