Get Creative Festival: Creators keep on creating
23 March 2018
With the Get Creative Festival now in full swing we take a look at how people are expressing their creativity across the country, including cross-stitching, watercolours, circus skills, dance workshops and poetry from the weather watchers.
Get Creative Festival runs from Saturday 17 March to Sunday 25 March and encourages arts organisations of all sizes to host free workshops and taster sessions aimed at inspiring and celebrating everyday creativity.
This weekend the festival also includes Hey Clay!, with 130 venues across the UK running free pottery workshops from Friday to Sunday. Visit the interactive map to find an event near you and share your creations on social media using the hashtag #GetCreative.
