Creative sessions for children with their parents, regular art courses and focused clay work for adults. The Art Reformatory is starting the new term with eight courses. Some run for several months, others you can complete in a single evening. The first ones start as early as 15 September.
The programme brings together drawing, painting, animation, comics and ceramics. The youngest children can get to know colours and materials together with their parents, schoolchildren get space for regular creative work, and adults can choose between open art classes and several forms of clay work. There are term-long courses, shorter intensive formats and one-off sessions on offer.
