Threads through Creation Arts Workshop
We are delighted, as part of our Threads through Creation exhibition, to welcome Steve Pardue Artist to Hexham Abbey.

Steve will be delivering 4 workshops over 2 days. The workshops will take you on a journey through this creation where you will create your own mini version in the form of a Chapbook (a zig-zag book). You will be creating your own book and so no great artistic skill is required - just observation and a joy of making and drawing stories.

The cost of the workshop will include a small kit of materials. Individual adult £25.

On 25 October there will be space for a family ticket (1 adult and 1 child @ £30).

Please book soon, places are very limited for each workshop - visit https://www.hexhamabbey.org.uk/events
