Generously hosted by York Art Gallery and funded by City of York Council through Arts Action York, we are running five two-hour workshops each led by one of our 2008 artists. It is not necessary to have any art training or prior knowledge, our artists will be there to guide you.

Choose from:
Sunday 9th March 10.30am – 12.30pm Milena Dragic, Printmaker
Sunday 9th March 2pm - 4pm Jacqueline James, Textile Artist
Saturday 15th March 10.30am - 12.30pm Liz Redfern, Jeweller
Saturday 15th March 2pm - 4pm Eddie Saul, Painter
Sunday 16th March 2pm - 4pm Mark Hearld, Collage

The workshops are open to adults (minimum age 16) and must be booked in advance. All materials and tuition are provided free of charge although there is a booking fee of £5 per person.

Early booking is essential as places are limited to 12 per session. Please call Ruth King on 01904 470196 or email ruthkingceramics@tiscali.co.uk to secure a place on your chosen workshop.
