The Affordable Art Fair
Activities
Education Programme
With the Diamond Jubilee and the Affordable Art Fair’s 10th Bristol birthday, there’s a lot to celebrate this year! In the Education Space you can pop along to design your own 1st class stamp in honour of the Diamond Jubilee. Your designs will be collected together to make a giant card for the Queen.
Spike Print Studio will be also running a series of hands-on screen-printing workshops throughout the fair, see timings below.
Our ever popular Kids’ Activity Guides will be available to encourage budding artists aged 4-11 explore their creative side while at the fair.
Workshops are suitable for all ages so take your pick and join in with friends and family. The Education Space is always open, and even when nothing is in session, feel free to get creative and explore your artistic side with lots of lovely drawing materials.
All activities operate on a first come first served basis and are fun, informative and best of all FREE!
