Important information
For Parents
Please make sure they wear messy clothes - there is a very high chance an elbow or sleeve will get paint on it. Aprons will be provided.
Bring a packed lunch - there will be a lunch break, please prepare a packed lunch there is nothing in the yard. Water and juice will be provided.
For the artists
Bring some Inspiration -,can be a physical object or a print out. There will be a range of print outs available to use, but it’s better to make the most of the time and come with an idea.
We have a well stocked supplies cupboard in the studio, but if there’s something specific you want to use then please feel free to bring it along.
About the space
All our workshops take place in our downstairs studio, which offers step-free access. Studio Sherborne is set in a characterful old industrial unit. While we’ll do our best to keep things cosy, the space can be a little chilly at times - so we recommend bringing an extra layer or two to stay warm and comfortable.
