Are you looking for something to do in the half term holidays? Why not join us at Newport Museum and Art Gallery to create amazing papercuts in the style of French artist Henri Matisse. Guided by local artist Beth Wilks participants will have the opportunity to experiment with this technique and create their own cutout artworks inspired by the Newport Chartists and their demands for democracy. The workshop is suitable for 7 to 12-year-olds and free to attend. Children must be accompanied by an adult throughout. Spaces are limited and booking is essential. This event is support by CELF: National contemporary art gallery for Wales. About the artist: Beth Wilks is a teacher and visual artist who works mainly through the medium of papercutting. She enjoys this technique as the work is intricate and detailed which contrasts with the naïve and simplistic appearance of papercuts. She also finds it very satisfying, and sometimes challenging to produce a piece of work where all elements are joined in a continuous line. Beth’s work is created the old-fashioned way using a scalpel. She enjoys playing with elements of art which are juxtaposed, such as creating something mundane in a delicate or surprising way, and she also likes to include elements of humour in her work. Beth is inspired by the variety of fragments which come together to make us who we are such as places, words, music and people of significance, combined with a good dollop of nostalgia and a hint of the ridiculous. Her work often features popular culture, and being a proud Newportian, specifically Newport culture, which is a breed all of its own!

Tingtao Villa is located on the seaside. You can hear the sound of the waves directly, hence the name Tingtao Villa. The building is very beautiful, and the decoration inside is magnificent and shocking. There is also a mini villa in the garden, which is a building suitable for children to play. It looks quite interesting. It was raining that day, and when we visited the indoors and came to the outdoors, there was heavy fog. We could hardly see the sea view, and could only hear the sound of the waves. It was really like listening to the waves. The whole scenic spot took about one and a half hours to two hours to visit. Tingtao Villa is more than an hour&#39;s drive from Boston one way. If you are in a tight schedule, it is not recommended to go there.
