Youth activities
We’ve been given funding by the North Berwick Area Partnership via the Children and Youth Network for young people aged 10 to 18 living in Aberlady, towards a series of activities.
In 2022, these started with surf skateboarding (each Friday for five weeks) and parkour (one-off event), and continues with art classes in Spring 2023.
Dates below, any queries please email Mo – modemowbray@hotmail.com
Art classes

18 March 2023
Rebecca Dover
In this art workshop we’ll be working on a big scale to create a personalised poster for your wall (or ceiling). We’ll look at composition, scale, expression and experiment with different paint techniques. The theme will loosely be music and nature but can be personalised.
You might get painty so wear suitable clothes!
More info on the artists…
Sandra Vick is based in Midlothian, where she runs private art classes for primary and high school children and her homewares business, and paints from her studio. She draws on our natural environment for her inspiration, and uses a combination of painting, mixed media, collage and printmaking in her work. Her paintings are of birds, flowers, trees and the landscape. Information about Sandra’s work and stockists can be found on www.sandravick.co.uk.
Rebecca Dover is an East Lothian artist who paints land and seascapes with a focus on atmospheric skies and weather fronts.

Background
A massive thank you to all Aberlady 10-18 year olds who filled in our Youth Network survey in December 2021.
In January 2022 we submitted a funding request to the North Berwick Area Partnership via the Children and Youth Network and it was successful!
We’re super excited about these activities and hope you are too. Remember you made it happen!!
