Test Your Inner Artist

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at jewellery making, weaving, felting, yarn and textile working, or charcoal drawing, but wanted some detailed instruction first?

Why not take part in The Artist Place’s workshops at Queens Park.

The Artist Place is a community art group, who allows people to try their hand at a broad range of art mediums in workshops and classes with local artists.

In this mammoth week of 11 workshops, attendees will be given dedicated instruction and intimate help, in order to craft their own art piece.

There are also three Come and Play sessions, free for anyone in the community. This is a fantastic opportunity to come along and play with the wide range of materials and mediums on offer in the shed.
