Autumn self portraits

A series of art workshops for young women aged 11 - 14 years old creating self portraits.

Join artist Nicola Lynch over 5 weeks to create a self-portrait using a range of fun artistic methods, from gelli printing to collage. These sessions will result in a self-portrait that can be displayed at Gibside's Autumn festival.

The sessions will be on Wednesdays the 9, 16, 23 and 30 September and 7 October 4 to 5:30pm, and we'd love you to come along to all of the sessions if possible.

No experience required! Just come and have fun! 

Suitable for girls who will be in school years 7, 8 and 9 in September 2026 (aged 11 - 14).

Please register using a parent/ carers email address and details, as we will need permission for the girls to attend from a responsible adult.

The sessions will be at the 'Staiths Space' which you can find on Staithes Road, next to Dunston Excelsior Club (https://w3w.co/jokes.spoil.waving)
