Little Silver Kiln Workshop
Create your own little piece of the night sky!
Join Carley from The Little Silver Kiln at Borough Hall, Hartlepool for a fun and creative 1-hour workshop where you’ll design and make your very own hand-stamped aluminum bookmark. Decorate it with constellations, stars, and moons, and add your name or a special message — the perfect keepsake for dreamers, readers, and star gazers of all ages!
You’ll learn simple metal stamping techniques using real jeweller’s tools to create patterns that shine. It’s a brilliant way to explore creativity, build confidence with making, and go home with something truly personal.
✨ Younger participants may need some help from their accompanying adult when using the tools — teamwork makes the magic happen!
This workshop is ideal for children, families, and beginners, and no prior experience is needed.

The Simon James Earthship
Town Square, Hartlepool
In 1977, the twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft were launched, and they are still exploring interstellar space where nothing from Earth has flown before. It was like a time capsule for extraterrestrials, and this workshop is your chance to send a message on the same journey through space.
