15 September 2025 - 6 October 2025
Jersey Museum

Explore your creativity and sample a feast of creative techniques and processes. Our 4-week series of taster workshops will explore different ways to kickstart your creativity and introduce you to new ways of responding to the world around you through art and crafts (these workshops are for our adult Members).

Whether you're a complete beginner or someone who wants to rediscover your artistic flair, our workshops offer you a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, relax, unwind and meet like-minded people in a fun and supportive environment.

Each week, there will be a different creative focus, from drawing to lino printing, leather craft to creative movement. You can sign up to any of the workshops, or better yet why not try all five! There is no right or wrong way of creating art and each of the artists will guide you through the process, giving you time to try new techniques and respond.

Adult JH Members’ workshops are £6 per session, plus Eventbrite booking fee. All materials are provided. All creative abilities welcome.

At the end of the workshop series, you’ll be invited to showcase your work in Discover the Artist in You!, an exhibition opening this December at the Link Gallery, Jersey Museum, in which you will be invited to a private view.

Booking for each session is essential, details below, if you have any problems with the EventBrite booking system below, then visit the website

Exploring Light and Colour with Louise Ramsay

Kickstart your creative journey by discovering the unique ways Impressionists used light and colour. Learn seascape painting techniques, explore mark making with acrylics, and develop your understanding of composition and colour, with a special focus on capturing light.

We’ll also explore works from the Seeing the Light exhibition to inspire your own painting as we look at some examples from Jersey and the Channel Islands. You’ll have the chance to practice brushwork, experiment with paint application, and build your confidence in a fun, relaxed setting.

Each workshop offers a welcoming space to unwind, meet fellow JH Members, and enjoy a supportive, creative environment. All abilities are welcome, and materials are provided.

Nature in Clay – plant imprinting

This week’s workshop, ‘Nature in Clay’ invites JH Members to explore the textures and forms of the natural world through clay. Using foraged leaves, flowers, and other botanical finds, Members will create detailed impressions in clay, capturing the delicate patterns and structures of their chosen materials. These imprints will form the surface design for a series of moulded clay vessels. Working with kiln-fired clay, Members will shape their textured slabs into pots and other hand-built forms, allowing nature’s imprint to become an integral part of each finished piece. This workshop offers a reflective, tactile experience – blending seasonal foraging with creative craft, and deepening our connection to place through clay.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who wants to rediscover your artistic flair, this workshop offers you a fantastic opportunity to learn a new skill, relax, unwind and meet like-minded JH Members in a fun and supportive environment.

All abilities are welcome, and materials are provided.

Plant to Pattern – foraged embroidery workshop

This week’s workshop, ‘Plant to Pattern’ will guide JH Members through a creative exploration of nature’s forms and colours.

Members will use foraged local plants, learning how to extract natural pigments from leaves, flowers, and stems. These organic colours and patterns will inspire the next stage of the process—translating nature’s details into stitch. Using embroidery hoops, natural thread, and embroidery floss, Members will create their own textile pieces, drawing on the textures, lines, and tones found in the wild. This workshop offers a grounding, hands-on experience that connects art-making with the natural environment.

Panels and Pendants – glass fusing

This week’s workshop, ‘Panels and Pendants,’ will focus on the technique of glass fusing to design and make colourful frit mould wearables and greeting card inserts. Keith will guide you through the process, giving you time to explore glass fusing methods and answer any questions you may have. You will also undertake a small group project to create floral glass panels using glass elements and murrine.
