This event will be bookable on Monday 3 August 2026. Adventures in Art is our weekly multi-disciplinary art workshop for adults. The sessions this term will be in Gallery 1 while our usual room, Studio 4, is refurbished. Gallery 1 on the lower ground floor is accessible via lift or stairs. We have a variety of tutors who will deliver 3 or 4 weeks in a row, and then a different tutor will take over with a new creative discipline/project, which could include printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, clay, collage, journaling, crafts like macramé and more. Although there is no need to book in advance, we do advise booking ahead of each session if you can, just to ensure a place is available for you, as places are limited and sessions do fill up! No experience is necessary – everyone is very welcome. It’s a great way of having a go and trying new things in a very friendly and relaxed group, working at your own pace, supported by an experienced tutor. All materials are provided – no need to bring anything with you except maybe an apron or old clothes, as some activities can get messy! We do have aprons you can borrow in the studio. Upcoming Dates 2027: 5 January 12 January 19 January 26 January 2 February 9 February 16 February 23 February 2 March 9 March Please book each session separately. We also have workshops for Autumn 2026 live now, to book click here. Further information: Participants must be aged 18+. If the course/workshop you’d like to book is sold out, we do operate a waiting list – simply contact our box office team on 0116 252 2455 /arts-centre@le.ac.ukand ask to be added to the waiting list.
