Engage at Gray's
Art Weekenders
Spend a whole weekend in our studios working and learning a new craft in depth or furthering your current art & design skills.
Our Art Weekender courses give you the chance to learn and work in our studios and workshops over one or two days during the weekend. With the support and guidance from creative practitioners spanning multiple disciplines, these weekends will offer a variety of subjects and methods for you to explore from ceramics, through to printing.
You will build on your existing knowledge and understanding of art practice through integrated class demonstrations, individual/group discussion and studio-based practice.
If you have a question about any of courses in the programme, please get in touch with the Engage at Gray's Team and we'll do our best to help.
