With this year’s summer programme, we aim to get the whole family excited, featuring a mix of new workshops, old favourites and family friendly sessions. This is your chance to try something new, experiment with printmaking in our new evening taster sessions, or hone a skill during an intensive three-day summer school, create together and get everyone involved in our Family Workshops.
We are delighted to welcome back our award-winning tutors who continue to inspire students in all their specialist creative disciplines. Visitors can see a selection of student work in our current Creative Learning Student exhibition in the Intro Gallery.
