Let your creativity flow and learn new skills in drawing, printmaking and ceramics, inspired by our current exhibition, Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur.
Guided by our artists and with ongoing access to the exhibition, over four days you’ll explore how art of the past can be playfully reimagined in a range of media. Exploring Grayson Perry’s innovative techniques and unique storytelling, you’ll delve into different themes to spark your imagination and help you express your own stories through art.
By the end of the summer school, you’ll have created a diverse portfolio of vibrant drawings, prints and ceramic pieces, and will have had many opportunities for individual and group tuition on artistic processes and materials.
