We run a vibrant and varied public education and outreach programme that responds to the needs of our local community.
Our education room is wheelchair accessible and leads onto a pretty canal side terrace. It has a small kitchen and ample storage space. Most of our in-house projects and classes take place here and the space can also be booked by local and community groups. We also work with local schools offering creative learning sessions and studio visits, as well as other offsite projects that enable groups to take part in more familiar settings.
