A One‑of‑a‑Kind Home‑Ed Creative Experience — Canal Art with Kerri Williams

Dudley Canal and Caverns are delighted to invite home-educating families to an exclusive canal art event on Monday 1st June, from 10:00am to 1:00pm.

We are thrilled to offer home‑educating families an exclusive opportunity to learn from the incredible Kerri Williams – The Heritage Crafter. Kerri isn’t just any artist — she is a highly skilled, nationally recognised heritage painter whose work is loved for its detail, colour, and storytelling. Her workshops are normally in high demand, and we are genuinely lucky to have her leading this special session just for us. Check out her webpage here.

Create Your Own Masterpiece
During this immersive three‑hour workshop, Kerri will guide participants step‑by‑step as they design and paint their own ceramic mug or slate to take home.
Everything is provided — all materials, tools, and expert guidance from Kerri herself.

Extend the Adventure
After the workshop, you’re welcome to stay, enjoy your packed lunch, and add on a boat trip into our historic tunnels and caverns for just £5 per person.
It’s the perfect way to turn a creative morning into a full day of learning, exploration, and fun.
