Bridgwater Arts Centre gearing up for season of creative workshops

Bridgwater Arts Centre is gearing up for a season of creative workshops.

As the festive season approaches, the centre will host a variety of activities designed to inspire and engage participants.

Tickets to all events can be purchased at bridgwatertheatres.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows.

On Saturday, November 22, at 2pm, the Festive Bead and Banter workshop will provide an opportunity for individuals to create jewellery with the guidance of experts.

The session, priced at £25, promises a "handmade touch" for people's holiday looks or gifts.

On Saturday, December 6, at 10am, Amanda Webb will lead the Festive Willow Workshop, where attendees can create rustic decorations using eco-friendly willow.

The £35 workshop invites individuals to get crafty and embrace the festive spirit.

Later the same day, florist Sacha Allen will guide participants in the Festive Wreath Workshop, starting at 3pm.

For £55, individuals can craft a wreath from seasonal foliage, dried seedheads, flowers, and luxury ribbons, creating a piece to make any front door "the envy of the street."

Beyond workshops, the centre is also celebrating artistic collaboration with an exhibition running from Wednesday, November 12, to Saturday, December 20.

Painter Stephen Jenkinson and weaver Lia Duarte Jenkinson will present a blend of abstract landscapes and intricate woven forms in a display that highlights the joy of shared creativity.

Additionally, the current exhibition, The Blue House Makes, showcasing the work of Carol Ridout and Ivor Hill, continues until Saturday, November 8.

The artists, from North Petherton, discovered their passion for art during lockdown, encouraged by their Shared Lives Carer and her artist daughter.

The exhibition marks the duo's first public display of their newfound love for painting.

The gallery is open from 10am to 3pm, Tuesday to Saturday, and entry is free.
