It has always been a fundamental principle of our mission to educate all sectors of the local community in arts and crafts of all kinds. We fulfil this aim in a number of ways. We run regular classes and occasional workshops for adults and students in a variety of arts and crafts including life painting, ceramics, papier mache and embroidery. We work with local schools and colleges on music and visual arts projects, allowing special interpretive visits to concerts and exhibitions. Our popular series of art talks covers a wide range of topics based on our own or other major London exhibitions.
adult and young people’s classes & workshops
