Stories of Us: Mural Workshop

Join us create a collaborative mural that can be displayed 'virtually' on a public site/wall in Beccles chosen by the participants.In this creative workshop, participants will explore the places, spaces and themes that are important to them, thinking about what makes them who they are and how they connect with their community.Using drawing, stencils and paint, they will create their own personal artwork or 'self-portrait', which could be realistic or abstract.

These individual pieces will then be brought together to create a collaborative mural titled OUR SPACE, celebrating their identities and shared experiences.The finished mural will be photographed and digitally placed into an image of a chosen public space in Beccles, before being displayed on screen at the library and shared on social media.This workshop is part of Stories of Us, a series of free creative sessions for young people aged 13-18 at Beccles Library.

If you are slightly outside this age range but would like to take part, please get in touch as we may still be able to offer you a space.
