The Future Foundry’s annual Dover Youth Festival (DYF) celebrates the creativity, culture and imagination of Dover’s 11-19 year olds – giving them the space to create, collaborate and lead change.
The Maison Dieu is delighted to take part offering a workshop for attendees to Decorate a piece of Bonkers Burges painted furniture.
Visit the Maison Dieu to learn about eccentric Victorian art architect and designer William Burges and see the remarkable Connaught Hall ceiling. Find out about his painted furniture designs. Then go to the next door Biggin Hall to upcycle and decorate your own piece of gilded furniture, using the actual stencils used in the project, including dragon, parrot, butterfly and flower designs and Dutch gold leaf, or hand paint your own design.
Booking in advance through Dover Youth Festival on the Future Foundry website.
