Dive into a bold and joyful exploration of colour in Colour Crush - a hands-on workshop designed for young people and adults. Using mixed media, participants will explore colour theory, emotional expression and pattern play in a fun, supportive environment. From iconic palettes to unexpected clashes, you'll investigate what colour tells us - and how we can use it to tell our own stories. With a personal art sketchbook, sticker and tote bag to take home, you'll continue your creative journey through colour long after the workshop ends.

Activities in this workshop include -

  • Painting a watercolour grid pattern to watch how colours interact

  • Using permanent markers and rubbing alcohol to make blooms of colour on a tote bag

  • Combining oil pastels and watercolours to unlock amazing colour combos

  • Cutting and pasting with hand-painted papers to create a collage of your own individual colour palette


No experience needed, just curiosity, creativity and a crush on colour.

All materials will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring a painting smock or clothes for messy play.

This wokshop will be held at Ipswich Art Workshop.

There is street and off-street parking in and around Ipswich City. Metered on-street parking is av6ailable on Limestone Street directly outside the Ipswich Community Gallery.
