Eye Gets Green is a club for young people (12 – 16 years) from Eye or nearby villages, where they can get creative and be green at the same time. It’s a set of four creative workshops/sessions, where young people can try some different activities that they might enjoy. The activities are street art, trying spray painting, stencilling, building characters, trying illustration techniques, planting, making stories, creating 3d characters from air drying clay. Each week is led by a different creative, where they demonstrate and encourage the young people.
Experiment and use spray painting techniques to create text and street art characters. Enjoy a safe, creative and laid-back session. Use spray cans, stencils and cardboard to make designs that flip natural images into your style. Then take them away. Beginner friendly, no experience necessary. Please wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting scruffy.
