Would you like to be considered as a Mentor for a school student or to provide a class workshop in a primary or secondary school?
We have children usually between 15-17 years old who are interested in learning from artists, this is as a volunteer, on a casual 2 hours per week basis (or more if preferred). It can be discussing ideas or art/ists, teaching, or working on a project together. This is an indication of interest only, and we will see if there is a suitably matched student or class.
