Shaping Stories in Sculpture series

About the event

Dates: : 26 March, 16 April and 21 May

Create a sculptural artwork that reflects your own journey — guided by artist Laura Aldridge.

If you enjoy making things with your hands or want to try something completely new, these sculpture workshops offer a fantastic creative experience. You’ll work with tactile materials, supported by sculptor Laura Aldridge, to explore your own interpretation of “The Journey.”

You can attend one workshop, two, or all three. Each session stands alone, but if you join more than one, you’ll be able to build on your skills and ideas. This is your opportunity to build your own programme that is individual to you.

Your piece can be included in Blesma’s first national arts exhibition in late 2026, themed “The Journey.”  Please note that all events will include overnight stays, and travel will be offered on a case-by-case basis
