The Playworlds sessions, held last Wednesday and Friday, kicked off a new series of art and craft workshops for five to ten year-olds at the gallery on Huddersfield Road.

They will be held on Saturday mornings and give children the chance to let their imaginations run wild.

Last week’s creations, which were landscape sets for action figures, were made using cardboard, yoghurt pots, polystyrene and papier mache.

Mark Milnes, director of the Hub, said: “The children seemed to have a great time. They all created wonderful work, and we had some really imaginative ideas brought to life - including a dinosaur zoo cage, a skate park and a wrestling ring.”

Booking is now open for the new workshops via the Hub’s website and Facebook page.

Tomorrow will see Make a Headdress with painting, puppet-making and more. It costs £5 per session, and places are limited to eight children per session.
