“Our pupils loved the workshop! They were engaged, they were thinking, they were creating” Year 4 teacher, Sandal Magna Community Academy

Our skills-based workshops inspire students to explore the artworks in the gallery and creatively respond to the ideas, themes and processes within the exhibitions.

During the workshops artists support students to be creative, develop their ideas and try new things.

Choose from a range of workshops that explore different materials and processes, including printmaking, clay, sketchbooks, drawing, sculpture, mixed media and felt making.
