Guest Artists

Guest Artists

Weekday Evenings & Weekends

We get incredible local artists to come to hold workshops. All the artists are very community focused, are prepared to give their time and skills for as low a price as possible.

We have regular pottery workshops held by Kathryn Stevens, needle felting with Sally Benson and fused glass workshops with Marilyn Ann Hale.
Classes are normally two hours.

The Guest Artists often charge much higher prices to deliver longer or produce larger artwork with other groups in the area. We arrange to pay a fair price to all artists that work with us but also work with them to keep costs as low as possible. Prices tend to be in the region of £15-20. Artists do need to cover the cost of materials and travel. We love providing an opportunity for people to get involved in new media like: felting, pottery, painting techniques, textiles and so much more. Do ask us if you would like any specific art and we will try to find someone.

Some workshops have to be for specific ages due to health and safety and risk assessments. We ask for all under 14s to be supervised or with a teacher/leader.
