Harley Young Artists gives young people ages 11-16 the chance to get hands on with the artists who exhibit in our gallery to learn what they do, and how they do it!
Young people will work with professional artists, develop new skills and gain an insight into a range of creative careers. During the creative workshops, they might learn endangered basketry techniques from a traditional basketmaker, make a colourful mural with a contemporary fine artist, cast molten pewter under the instruction of a professional jeweller, and much more.
Tickets for these sessions will be released in our e-newsletter; sign up to be the first to hear when we announce new dates.
