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).

“From the Haitian revolution to present day struggles in Myanmar and Syria, by way of the International Brigades in the Spanish civil war, the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and the Zapatista rebellion, these talks will reveal the stories and motivations of those courageous souls who have undertaken international solidarity, put their lives in danger and even taken up arms in the cause of social justice worldwide.”
