ARTISTS OF THE NORTH

WORKSHOPS

Welcome to the fabulous world of
creativity and connection.

There is nothing like creating in company, especially when it’s under the direction of a competent teacher who will hold you safe in their creative space and guide you through the skills and techniques needed
to create your beautiful artwork.

Here you will find our schedule of Artists of the North workshops
to be held at the Tanks Arts Centre.
Tank 4, Collins Ave, Edge Hill.
Evening Paint & Sip events are held in other venues.
See details below.

Tank 4 is the heart of visual arts and the home of our exhibition. You will be seated amongst the exhibition entries in the tank, surrounded by the beautiful artworks from which you can draw creative energy and inspiration.

Further details on the workshops and bookings are located below.
