Hallé St Peter’s is hosting adults-only art classes this autumn

Two local artists have teamed up with the Hallé’s Archive Team for two mindful, creative workshops for adults this autumn.

Caroline Dowsett and Chelsie Dawn will lead the sessions. Each will focus on creating different art forms using upcycled materials from the Hallé’s Archive within the relaxing environment of the Victoria Wood Hall at Hallé St Peter’s.

The first Art Club session – Mindful painting and collage to music – takes place on Thu 19 Sep. Led by illustrator and artist Caroline Dowsett, participants will be guided through a series of creative activities using paint and collage, inspired by the Hallé’s heritage, live music and the surrounding nature of Ancoats.

The second Art Club session – Terrazzo coaster making – takes place on Thu 24 Oct and will be led by an expert from Studio Dawn. Guests will learn the art of mixing, casting and sanding as they create one-of-a-kind home décor from the signature chips of damaged vinyl records.

Both workshops will last for two hours. Tickets are priced at £30 and include all materials and complimentary refreshments. Thanks to the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund there are a limited number of discounted tickets for Ancoats residents.
