Digital Video Diaries

Led by Patricia Rangel

Using a computer to compose a digital diary

This is an opportunity for participants to create their own digital stories involving people making short films about their lives.

Specialist Studio Group

Co-ordinated by Keith Simmonds

Sculpture workshop

These changing groups maintain a flexible approach to the acquisition of new skills and creative expression. For this reason, projects are often open-ended and may be short or medium term.

Artmaking may take place inside the studio or in an outreach setting. Artmakers are encouraged to join as and when they feel like they have a positive contribution to make, or leave when they may have reached a certain point in that attainment.
