Once again we are delighted to open our doors and bring you our popular summer programme which is full of one day workshops and short courses to work in with your plans for the summer.
Our summer programme continues to go from strength to strength with more people booking their place than ever before and with a mixture of new workshops and old favourites, we are confident we offer something for everyone.
All our classes are non-accredited, but through the support and feedback of your tutor you will be aware of your development and suitable progression routes.
The Brewery actively promotes equal opportunities throughout the organisation and practises an inclusive policy towards all members of the community. All the Brewery tutors and staff are committed to offering an excellent standard of service and high quality classes to all our students. We feel the programme caters for all levels of ability and are happy to advise you on the suitability of a course. Course information sheets with further details on each course are available on request or you will be automatically sent one if you enrol onto a course.
Book in advance as workshops will be cancelled four days prior to start if numbers are too low.
We are proud to be continuing our partnership with the Forestry Commission this summer offering students the chance to experience painting in Grizedale Forest as part of our NEW Watercolour Summer School.
