More than a Visit

A group of secondary schools are taking part in our new scheme to provide a free artist led workshops and talks in secondary schools. The schools taking part are using the exhibition as course work and the workshop and talk are linked to the theme and techniques of the exhibition. Selected final year student artists from Suffolk College will deliver the talks and workshops.
To register your interest for future projects please contact the wolseyartgallery@ipswich.gov.uk
