WORKSHOPS

Workshops 1.00pm – 2.20pm and 4.00pm -- 5.20pm

 

Some of the tutors will give the same workshop twice, whilst some will give something different on each; it's best to check beforehand.

A recent addition to the workshop programme is the tutor's concert. This is designed to allow the tutors to briefly demonstrate what they have been doing in their workshops for the benefit of all the participants, rather than just those who attended their own.

Tutors’ Concert 2.40pm – 3.40pm. Open and free to all workshop participants
