Summer Camp 2017: Week 1

Summer Camp for ages 8+ runs from 9 - 20 July. Tashkeel's Summer Camp is an annual 2-week programme of workshops and experimentation, encouraging young people to use their imagination and make art.

Each day holds different workshops, different experiences, and different results! You can sign up for either individual days, or 1 week, or 2 weeks.

Week 1:

9 July - Calligraphy
with Ibraheem Khamayseh
In this workshop participants will learn the basics of this craft including how to make the fluid forms and use the tools provided. The aim is for everyone to leave a piece of calligraphy and ways that can take this into contemporary format.

10 July - Screenprinting
with Gemma Kaur
Learn the basics of screen-printing and create a mini personalised poster collection! This is a great workshop for young people to start their screen-printing career and make their mark in the world of posters and post cards!

11 July - 3D Woodwork
with Salim Ahmed
Join us in a workshop designed for young people to explore working with wood. Participants will be creating a wooden sculpture using specialised equipment suitable for young people.

12 July - Acrylic Painting
with Ruba Al Araji
Learn how to mix colours, build a composition and create a masterpiece! Participants will be using acrylic paints and canvas. This workshop covers all skill levels, whether you are a beginner or have a love of painting, and will help you to develop your painting skills further. The workshop does not require any prior experience in drawing or painting but each participant is guaranteed to leave with a painting that they love.

13 July - Riso Notebook
with Sarah Alfarhan
Young artists will have the opportunity to use Tashkeel’s risograph (digital printer/ duplicator) that is environmentally friendly and uses inks made from eco-friendly soy oil. They will make a personalised notebook or sketchbook using fun spot colors and will learn how to bind their notebooks towards the end of the workshop.
