‘The students had a great time with these workshops and it has really made a positive impact on how they view their own practices and the importance of stepping outside of our comfort zones. Thank you so much.’

- Art teacher, Astor Secondary School

Students have the opportunity to take part in a range of workshops covering different disciplines. Timings for these workshops are flexible, and they can be tailored to your timetable and curriculum. All materials are provided.
