As part of its education programme, the John Hansard Gallery offers members of the public the opportunity to participate in workshops designed to explore issues raised by the Gallery’s exhibition programme.

Led by a member in the arts profession, the dynamic and interactive nature of workshops helps to bring exhibitions, the ideas behind them and/or their methods of artistic practice to life. Workshops thus provide a safe environment for participants to learn and to develop their creative, interpersonal and communication skills.

To gain an insight into the previous workshop activities, please visit our past educational highlights section of the site. Alternatively, to view our forthcoming workshop programme, see below.

If you would like to propose a workshop that relates to our forthcoming programme, please submit our on-line education project proposal form.
