August Art Activities for Young People

This summer we are running activities alongside our exhibition Dear Portrait, with classes, workshops and resources that let you explore the genre of portraiture in both guided classes and at your own pace.

Artist-led portraiture master classes 

Join a professional artist in exploring the genre of portraiture. Each week you will be guided through a different approach such as sculpture, textiles, animation and drawing. Includes materials. Booking Required. To book a place call 01492 879201.
