Big Crafty Doo-Dah Facilitator Opportunities

Application Deadline: Monday 30th June 2025 at 4:00pm
Paid Opportunities

We are looking for freelance creatives for our BIG Craft Spectacular workshop series taking place throughout 2025. This project is funded by The Leap.

All opportunities are listed below.

What is The Big Craft Spectacular?

The BIG Craft Spectacular (more fondly known as The Big Crafty Doo-Dah) is an expansion of our family workshop programme. In 2025, Keighley Creative will be delivering 12 family-friendly arts and crafts workshops across Keighley.

The aim of the project is to engage Keighley families who have limited access to the arts. We will host pop-up workshops in public spaces, including the Airedale Shopping Centre, Keighley Market and 4 community outreach venues around Keighley.

As a workshop facilitator or workshop assistant you will support our families & visitors, helping them to create a quality piece of art to take away. The workshops should be process led, allowing participants to learn & practice new skills inspiring them to further create at home.

Our workshops may be the first time someone encounters the arts, so first impressions count. Their experience should be a positive one. We want people to feel welcome, encouraged, valued, inspired by their artwork and to know that everyone can be creative.

Commissioning Keighley’s creatives

In order to facilitate the Rombald’s Rocks themed art workshops, we needed a strong team of practitioners that could inspire and guide attendees to get creative and engage with the project.

How Rombald’s Rocks began?

June 17, 2025 No Comments

Rombald’s Rocks: Keighley Sculpture Trail is a project created and implemented by artist, Leonie Briggs, and ourselves, Keighley Creative. It is the brainchild of Leonie who thought Keighley deserved it’s own sculpture trail and she wanted to create a community art project that involved local people and would bring something positive to town.
