Celebrating Pride Month, we have a fabulous Poetry workshop where you can contribute your work to the Zine Library. Find out about the history of queer poetry and be inspired to create your own! 

Natalie will support a relaxed and informative workshop to learn about work from greats such as Sappho, Audre Lorde, and Oscar Wilde, and take us through writing exercises and prompts to reflect on the place of poetry in the expression of LGBTQ+ identity.

Gently and expertly guided by Monair, you will be observing from life and the examples in Art Library books and Special Collections to produce botanical drawings.

You will learn colour mixing and transfer all your ideas to a final piece using Winsor and Newton watercolour paints. All materials are included, and the paint palette will be yours to take home.

Join us at the Art Works, Otley, for a day of fun and creativity with Leeds artist, Tim Gomersall. You will learn how to turn your everyday urban environment into stunning, lively artworks, using Tim's unique techniques and way of seeing. The workshop is open to anyone over 18 years of age. Beginners are welcome as well as seasoned artists who want to try something different.
