Educational Service


We aim to educate through events and activities that are arranged to accompany our lively exhibition programme. They are geared to help the community to become more confident in their understanding of contemporary craft. Through our educational service we intend to unleash creativity, encouraging the public to explore their own creative potential and ultimately inspire them to pursue careers in the creative industry.
We strive to cater for all the community and are continually extending and developing the services that we offer. We can work with students, school children, specialist groups and organisations; we do not wish to exclude anyone.

Lectures and Talks
presented by designers provide an informative insight into a maker's lifestyle, inspirations, experiences and the techniques that they use.

New Designers Seminars
can be organised on request (advance notice required). Students and those that have recently graduated can benefit from the knowledge of our Educational Co-ordinator. A designer herself, she is equipped to share her experiences, whilst offering first hand information and advice required when dealing with galleries and on becoming a professional maker.

Workshops and Demonstrations
can be arranged and are delivered by practising designers and gallery staff. We are able to work externally with schools and other institutions upon request and subject to availability.

Group Visits
to the gallery are welcomed with prior arrangement. Specific information / requirements must be requested in advance.

Please feel free to contact us,
Email or telephone (0113)2478241 to discuss your requirements.
