Short Courses

‘I loved the enthusiasm of the guides! Enthusiastic, bright and very informative. They held my attention and lead me to different ways of looking at art in all its forms – they opened not only my eyes but also my inner being.’

We encourage you to come and question and discuss approaches with us. Keep an eye on the What’s On section for the next course.
