Join us for a free creative workshop where you'll create your own artwork and work with others to design a collaborative mural inspired by identity, community, and the places that matter to you. The finished mural will be displayed virtually in Beccles Library and shared online.

For young people aged 13–18 at Beccles Library.

As the mural is created across two sessions, we recommend booking onto both to get the most out of the workshop and be part of the final artwork.
