Meet The Artists Workshops

‘Meet the Artists Workshops’

Artists Working In Partnerships with Schools

Free Twilight Workshops

‘Meet the Artsists' Workshops sessions are organised in conjunction with practising 'Adopt an Artist ' artists and designers. The workshops are intended to build partnership between schools and artists as well develop skills, and creative initiative approaches to support learning.

The workshops will be delivered by the artists; however, a minimal charge will have to be made to cover costs of materials, administration and food. A nominal charge of £15 will be to cover each workshop. This will be invoiced to schools after 5 workshops have been attended.
