ARTIST Helen Dalton is hosting a series of art workshops for all. Beginners or those more experienced can get involved in the four-day sessions at Longwood Mechanics’ Hall.

Helen, 25, is using her artistic experience to teach others simple techniques. She has been working as a textile artist for many years and wants to help others learn the skills of her trade.

The Almondbury artist will run the free workshops starting tomorrow (Saturday). Helen said: “I’ll be running a four craft workshops in felt-making, silk painting, fabric jewellery making and ceramic painting.

“People can make Christmas cards, paint plant pots or make felt purses – things which can be useful.”

The workshops are at the Mechanics’ Hall, Longwood Gate, on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, 2.30pm until 4.30pm. Her weekly workshop takes place on Tuesday, 10.30am until midday.
