Creative Workshops for Art Educators
Discover hands-on CPD led by practising artists, designed to develop your own creative practice and bring fresh inspiration back to the classroom.
Creativity doesn't stop when you become a teacher. Our workshops give art educators the opportunity to explore new techniques, learn from practising artists and invest time in their own creative development.
Whether you're looking to introduce a new process into your curriculum, refresh your own artistic practice or simply spend a day immersed in creativity, our workshops offer practical, engaging CPD in a welcoming and supportive environment.
From printmaking and mixed media to drawing, painting and ceramics, every workshop has been carefully developed to provide practical skills, creative confidence and ideas you can immediately take back to your students.

Why Attend a Specialist Crafts Workshop?
Professional development should be inspiring, practical and enjoyable. Our workshops are designed specifically for creative educators, giving you time to step away from the classroom, develop your own skills and return with fresh ideas.
Today, we continue that legacy by supporting schools, colleges and universities with the products, expertise and inspiration they need to help creativity flourish.
Learn from practising artists
Gain insight into contemporary creative practice from artists working professionally across a wide range of disciplines.
Pratical, hands-on learning
Every workshop focuses on making. You'll explore techniques yourself, ask questions and build confidence through practical experience.
Take ideas back to the classroom
Discover processes, materials and approaches that can be adapted for GCSE, A Level, BTEC, Further Education and Higher Education teaching.
Connect with fellow educators
Meet like-minded teachers and technicians from across the country, share experiences and become part of a growing creative community.

I just wanted to say that it was one of the best training workshops I've ever done. Despite the fact that the techniques were not new to me, it was truly inspiring.
