Workshops & Learning
Create, connect and learn alongside Artbox artists
Our artist-led workshops bring teams together through creativity. Led by Artbox artists alongside our experienced facilitators, each session offers the chance to make, experiment and connect in a relaxed and inclusive environment.
Workshops can take place at your workplace or in the Artbox studio and can be shaped around your team, interests or aims.
Creative experiences for your team
Artist-led creative workshops
Make alongside an Artbox artist and explore their creative practice and techniques. Sessions can include clay, mono-printing, painting, drawing and more, and can be shaped around a theme relevant to your team.
Insight sessions
Hear directly from Artbox artists and staff about our work, creative practice and lived experience. Sessions can combine artist presentations, Q&A, research and discussion, with time for reflection and conversation.
Creativity, Wellbeing & Inclusion programmes
Go deeper with a series of sessions combining creative activity, learning, connection and reflection. We can work with you to develop a programme over several weeks around the needs and interests of your organisation.
Artist-led by design
Artbox artists don't simply take part in our workshops - they help lead them.
Sessions are shaped around artists' individual creative practices, ideas and expertise, with support from an Artbox facilitator. This creates paid opportunities for artists to develop leadership and facilitation skills while giving participants the opportunity to learn and make alongside practising artists.
Creating shared value
Every workshop creates a meaningful experience for your team while supporting paid and developmental opportunities for Artbox artists.
Income from workshops also helps support our wider studio programme, creating long-term creative opportunities for learning disabled and autistic artists.
Workshops in action
SSE × Artbox
Creativity inspired by entrepreneurs
SSE brought colleagues from across the UK together for an away day in London, including a workshop led by four Artbox artists. Participants created pieces inspired by well-known entrepreneurs and motivational quotes, bringing creativity, conversation and shared making into the day.
The Francis Crick Institute × Seatton
Mono-printing and sustainable making
Inspired by Seatton's work and creative process, this workshop explored mono-printing, painting and experimentation with materials. Led by another Artbox artist, participants experimented with used Riso masters from the Artbox studio, discovering how discarded materials can become the starting point for new work.
The Francis Crick Institute × Violet
Exploring clay and creative practice
Artbox artist Violet co-led a workshop using air-dry clay, inviting participants to create pieces inspired by her distinctive artistic practice. The session offered participants the opportunity to experiment with clay while learning about the ideas and influences behind Violet's work.
BlackRock × Artbox
Portrait drawing and connection
A team from BlackRock took part in a portrait drawing workshop at their offices. Through a series of simple, playful drawing activities, colleagues created portraits of one another, bringing creativity, laughter and relaxed conversation into the boardroom.
Planning your workshop
Workshops can take place at your workplace or at the Artbox studio in Islington. We'll work with you to shape the session around your group, aims and interests.
We charge a fee for our workshops, which covers artist and facilitator time, preparation, travel and materials, while also supporting our wider studio programme.
