Kids Art Workshop - Paint the Town Flags!

Budding young artists in Shrewsbury have a vibrant opportunity to see their creative talents showcased prominently above the High Street this summer, thanks to a new initiative linked to the Shrewsbury Arts Trail.

Two free drop-in workshops are being held in May, inviting children aged 6-11 (with adult supervision) to create flower-themed artworks inspired by the beautiful gardens and blooms found throughout Shropshire.

No need to book, just turn up

WORKSHOP ONE WILL TAKE PLACE AT SHREWSBURY LIBRARY

WORKSHOP TWO WILL TAKE PLACE AT SHREWSBURY MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY

Organised by Shrewsbury Arts Trail and supported by Shrewsbury BID and Shrewsbury Town Council, the sessions will take inspiration from Henri Matisse’s renowned cut-out collages.

Children attending the workshops will be encouraged to explore colour, shape, and mark-making using a variety of materials and stencils.

The exciting reward for participating young artists is the chance to have their work transformed into Shrewsbury’s bright and beautiful Town Flags. Twenty-five selected artworks will be reproduced and displayed throughout the historic town centre over the summer months.
