Elyse will be hosting workshops for the community supported and hosted by Banbury BID across several dates in October and November. You will be provided with anything you need to bring, workshops are free, but due to high demand we ask you to only secure a place if you are sure you can commit.
People under the age of 18 and those who require assistance MUST be accompanied with a responsible adult. You do not need any creative ability.
The workshop will be based around people in the community, so we do ask that you bring photocopies of photographs of people who are your hero. This could be a friend, a family member, someone you aspire to or just a local celebrity! It can be an image of anyone you wish. Photographs, newspaper images, magazine cuttings are all welcomed. Please do not bring media that you want to keep or that cannot be cut.
