7 Days, 7 Stories is a vibrant series of Family Saturdays workshops, forming part of Portsmouth Creates’ In Our Words programme. This engaging programme of arts and crafts workshops invites families to explore the richness of language through creative expression, storytelling, and shared experiences.

Led by visual artist and researcher Maria Amidu and artist facilitators Isis and Michelle, each session invites participants of all ages to connect with themes such as colour, culture, memory, and voice. Through a mix of imaginative and hands-on activities, families are encouraged to reflect on their personal stories and cultural backgrounds while discovering the joy of artistic exploration.

In the final two sessions of the series, the focus turns to the enchanting worlds of folklore. Families will be invited to create visual responses to traditional tales, blending art-making with storytelling in a fun and inclusive environment.

Bring your budding young artists along and get creative together as you share stories and spark creativity and imagination whilst spending quality family time together.
