Event description

Calling all doodlers and wombles. Join artist Kerry Cook from the Art Room for a creative workshop to make your own personalised scrap sketchbook from old packaging and recycled materials, then doodle and draw to your heart’s content.

We will be taking inspiration from the amazing, upcycled sketchbooks of Sunderland artist Charles Muir.

Bright Lights Youth Arts Festival 2026 is supported by Culture Start and the Autonomy project. The Autonomy project is supported by Association of Independent Museums’ Connected Communities programme, funded by the Department for Culture Media and Sport’s Know Your Neighbourhood Fund, through Arts Council England.
