If you are visiting Glastonbury and the surrounding area and are interested in experiencing Celtic art first-hand, you can set up a customised workshop for yourself, friends or group. This can be a one-off session or a series of regular workshops taking place over the duration of your stay. Each session can be structured to suit your situation and needs. No previous experience of art is necessary.

• If you are a group I can customise a workshop and come to you!

• For customised workshops: bring your own basic art materials or I can provide these at extra cost.

• Discounts are available for larger groups.
