Art Pop-Up run short courses and workshops in a broad range of techniques and mediums both in the community and at our studio in Stamford, including holiday workshops for children.
We also frequently run workshops as part of our community engagement and education projects. The project blogs and further details can be found on Facebook at www.fb.com/ArtPopUpUK

Holiday workshops for children
We are currently hosting children’s workshops in conjunction with Stamford Arts Centre, watch out for Christmas dates to be announced shortly. These paid workshops are part of our ‘Pay it Forward’ initiative to fund our outreach work. Children’s classes aim to inspire, stimulate curiosity and exploration so that students are able to discover and unpack their creativity. Read more about our philosophy on the importance of creative thinking in this interview with our founder, Sam.
