Adventures in Art
Description
Adventures in Art is our weekly drop-in multi-disciplinary art workshop for adults of all abilities.
The sessions are on Tuesday mornings, 10am – 12pm, throughout the year.
We have a variety of tutors who usually deliver 3 or 4 weeks in a row, and then someone new will take over with a new creative discipline/project which could include printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, textile art and more.

No experience is necessary – everyone is very welcome. It’s a great way of having a go and trying new things in a very friendly and relaxed group.
All you need to attend is a willingness to learn and a joy of getting creative in your own way!
Although the sessions are drop-in and there is no need to book, we do advise booking a few days ahead of each session if you can, just to ensure a place is available for you, as sessions can fill up!
Participants must be aged 18+.
All materials are provided – no need to bring anything with you.
We aim to make all our sessions as accessible as possible and carers/PAs are very welcome – just remember to book their free place when you book your session.
