A workshops & classes performance in Bristol

upcoming event

Bristol's Workshops & Classes Scene

Creatives has always been drawn to the city of Bristol - we don't know what came first, the creatives or the workshops and classes! Whatever your poison is: pottery, dance classes, life drawing, basket weaving, yoga - Bristol has it all. Bristol Folk House on Park Street is a key public-facing arts centre - providing workshops on photography, music writing, all forms of modern dance and everything in between (usually at affordable prices).

The RWA, Bristol's oldest art gallery (and one of the only academies left in the UK) also host an art and drawing school offering everything from month long courses to drop-in life drawing events. Other key creative spaces to check out for workshops and classes in Bristol include the Maker Shed @ St Paul's Learning Centre, Hamilton House, Bristol School of Art, Bristol Print Room and Spike Print Studio (to name just a few).

What our editors say

“UWE School of Art and Design are continuing to open up their life drawing classes to the public, inviting anyone to come along and have a go. The sessions will be very relaxed and a chance to meet new people. We believe there is no such thing as someone who can’t draw!”
From: Life drawing

“Since graduating from UWE’s BA illustration course, Stuart has maintained a commited practice of life drawing and study of drawing practices, all of which he is more than happy to share his insights into. He is currently the life drawing tutor for UWE’s School of Arts, Drawing Studio.”

“Written in thrilling style, this vital and clear-eyed book reports from the frontlines during an age of upheaval. Luke Harding visits villages in eastern Ukraine under Russian bombardment, talks to Greenlanders about a US takeover, tours the divided Korean peninsula and sits down with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He examines why Trump appears to be in thrall to Putin and tracks Russian spies and their links with Nigel Farage’s Reform party. Betrayal is an essential guide to brutal Great Power politics and how it came back.”

“This month's event is TBC, however past events include: talks by Marian Green and Professor Ronald Hutton, intuitive tarot workshop, 'my magical thing' occult show & tell with Julian Vayne, sigil talk and workshops with Mark Vincent, a musical Druidic celebration, and a practical hands-on workshop making portable micro altars. We are always open to suggestions!”

“Calling all artists in Bristol and surrounding areas! Join us for a festive life drawing session at The Avon Centre, hosted by Max Wolfe Illustration. We will have a handful of wonderful horses roaming freely in a 35x55m indoor arena for you to draw however you like. The session will be relaxed, friendly and open to all abilities. Artist Max Wolfe will be hosting and is happy to give some tips on anatomy if needed, but note that the session is unstructured for the comfort of the horses. Please bring your own art materials! Wrap up warm, bring along a hot drink and enjoy some complementary biscuits (and some freebies too)!”
