For a detailed description of all the Artisania Workshops available this year see p84 - p87 of the Programme Book.

Bookings

Online Visual Arts Workshop bookings have now closed.

There are still lots of places available in all Artisania workshops. Bookings must now be made at the Visual Arts Registration Tent at the entrance to Penny Arcade from 8.00am Thursday 27th December. Places are limited so get there early to avoid disappointment.

Some of our visual arts workshops can’t be booked online – they’re the kind of thing you just need to feel like doing in the moment.
Drop in and chill out with workshops and dress up opportunities including:

Paving Project (with Merrie Tomkins)

Be part of this inclusive, fun, easy and rewarding public art project. With helpful instruction and carving/sculptural tools, Woodfordians can try their hand at decorating pavers which will later be fired and used to pave select areas of the Woodford site. The designs can be highly intricate or very basic and will remain underfoot as unique reminders of Woodfordian creativity. No experience necessary – just lots of creative imagination.
THUR – MON 10:00AM – 4:00PM
TUE 11:00AM – 4:00PM

Adornment Boudoir (with Nina and Brady [body art] , Tiffany Beckwith Skinner [costumes], Jane Grais [mask and hat making] and Festival Friends)

In preparation for a night of magic ahead, visit the La Belle Epoch-inspired Adornment Boudoir and get kitted out with fantastical masks, cardboard costume creations, silly hats, stunning body art and countless other adornment delights. If you’re planning on attending the New Year’s Eve Masked Ball at The Parlour make sure you get to the Adornment Boudoir ahead of time to make your mask. Activities include Body Art, Mask Making and decorating and one-night only costumes. (You don’t need to be at these workshops the full 3 hours – that’s just when they’re open)
FRI – MON 5:00pm – 8:00pm
TUE 2:00pm – 5:00pm

Mask Making (with Jane Grais)
