Art Workshops
Would you like to enhance and discover new skills? Join our art workshops tutored by a selection of talented guest artists.
During the months of February to May and July to November the Society arranges various tutors to impart their knowledge to artists.
Our workshops held at the Short Street Studio provide you with the opportunity to really get into the creative flow, and give you plenty of ideas and information to carry on with your artistic journey. We encourage artists of any level to attend, though prior knowledge helps and your own resources are usually required for most workshops.
Because popular workshops fill up quickly, ASA members are notified via our newsletter and get discounted prices for workshops.
The aim of the ASA in running art workshops is to provide and encourage art within the wider community as well as our members. The workshop entry fee pays for the Tutor running the workshop and administration costs – we do not make a profit.
If participants cancel, the workshop could be running at a loss so we may be forced to cancel it. See our refund policy below.
