'Recycled Sketchbook'  Children's Workshop -
for age 8 plus, £5 per child, booking essential, call 01200 443071.

 Make your own individual sketch book using recycled paper and materials with Clitheroe artist Joy Cockle.  Joy will show you how to make the pages and bind the book with colourful string and ribbon.  Add a recycled pencil (provided) and a viewfinder and you will be ready to take your book into the gallery space and draw with Joy!  You can also use the same idea to make a keepsake or memory book - bring along your own photos or scraps and Joy will show you how.

 Make someone out of nothing!  Sue Gibson will show you how to make your own fun characters out of old yarn cones, fabric and recycled plastics. Will yours be a swashbuckling pirate, a fluttering fairy or something completely different?  It's up to you and your imagination!
