There is a wide range of free creative workshops for children of all ages at Oriel Môn over the summer.

For young children aged 8-11, there are craft activities every Tuesday led by Kally Davies, a member of Oriel Môn’s team.

There is a morning  session (11am to 12am) or an afternoon session (2pm to 3pm). The fun Tuesday activities include creating greeting cards using poly printing, creating a fish using paper, creating macramé keyrings, creating 3D animal portraits as well as mono printing. All the sessions are free but due to limited numbers to ensure COVID-19 safety measures are adhered to, please book by contacting Oriel Môn. For those not able to attend the workshop, the activity will be shared on our website the next day so that you can have a go at home.

For older children, aged 11 to 18, there are 4 different workshops, each with a different Professional artist working. These are all day sessions (10.30am to 3.30pm) working with a professional artist to create in a fun, friendly environment to experiment and have a go. The details of these artist led sessions are:
