Surrealist art workshop: painting for you

Express yourself and create your own surreal painting in this two and half hour workshop with local artist Michael Cunliffe.

No experience is needed as you will learn how to use acrylic paint with traditional surrealist techniques to explore your imagination and discover how art can benefit your mental health.

Michael Cunliffe is an artist and also works at North Tyneside Art Studio. He guested on the Northern Guide to Happiness podcast earlier this year.

Tickets are free but we'd love you to make a donation to the Newcastle United Fans Food Bank if you can (our suggested donation is £4 but whatever you choose to donate is welcome).
