Courses & Workshops

Courses, workshops, events and activities for visitors of all ages take place throughout the year at our studios.

Some History...

Once part of a mineral water bottling works, then used as machine sheds by the Parks Service and now converted, the building contains a teaching studio and artists' workrooms, with seating and a carving yard out of doors.

2012 Art Courses Timetable

We offer a wide variety of art classes and summer courses. These include pewter jewellery making, life drawing, recycled fashion, wood-carving and pottery! Please check the timetable for current classes running.

“It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. I’ve always wanted to do something like this. It’s fantastic.”
