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

“The 'CUBE Of Wyrding' is the CUBE Microplex's ongoing transnational folk horror/urban frights cinema series. It showcases the best in rural folk horror and urban wyrd films, including classics, lesser-known greats, and freaky oddities from the margins, and delves into the darker recesses of the genre. It additionally features silent films brought to life with spectacular live musical accompaniments, lively screen talks, and opportunities to immerse yourself in obscure horror soundtracks.”

“This year Zinezilla teams up with Bristol animation crew Animinspo (https://www.animinspo.com/) to bring you a programme of animation screenings, panels and interviews alongside an expanded illustration, comic and zine fair. Come along for comics, prints, zines, books, stickers, merch, ceramics and more! You can also get stuck in and messy with our programme of workshops and talks from local creatives.”
From: Zinezilla Arts Festival

“Our wine tastings and food sustainability talks offer a perfect blend of enjoyment and enlightenment. Add a dash of flair with live cooking demos over fire, and you've got a recipe for an unforgettable day.”
From: Feast On Food Festival

“Following the talks, it will be an open space for any questions. It’s also just a nice environment to meet and chat to likeminded people who may be experiencing similar emotions and situations to you!”

“London Is Funny wrote “He has a totally unique wellspring of material. In a different class really.” The Sunday Times wrote of the ‘superbly comic writing’ of his plays on the Edinburgh Fringe. Kate Moss simply said “He walks like Dudley Moore and he talks like Peter Cook.” Most of his recent shows are now free form improvised “events” or happenings such as Community Circle “the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off.” The Mirror, Girl v Boy “Not very woke but it is great fun.”
