About this event

  • 4 hours

Part of a series of creative workshops and the Life on the Edge Arts and Literature Festival. The Festival is supported by an Arts Council England grant. Participants are asked to support the events with a small donation or 'pay-what-you-can' (suggested donation £5 / workshop).

This workshop will be at Culterham Village Hall, Mawbray.

A series of workshops aimed at those who would like to draw, paint or make small sculptures from driftwood but who find the idea too daunting.

The workshop leader is Joe Kewin who lives in Allonby, draws, paints and makes stuff out of stained glass and driftwood off the beach. He is a retired specialist therapist who can share a wealth of art and creative techniques with the aim of completing a piece of work in each session.

These workshops may be of interest to individuals, friends, families and teachers.

All materials will be provided, please bring something for lunch.

Senhouse Museum

The Senhouse Roman Museum can be found in the small coastal town of Maryport, Cumbria. It is at the western end of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site and looks out over the Solway Firth towards the Scottish coast. Visitors to the museum can discover a fascinating collection recovered from the adjacent Roman fort and civilian settlement. The collection includes objects that are evidence for how Romans and the local people lived worked and their beliefs. The collection is of international significance and includes the largest series of Roman military altars from the province, Romano-British sculptures of local deities unique to the area. There is more to the Romans than swords and sandals.
