workshop 305 community interest company
Our spacious workshops provide a calm environment for students to focus on their
particular choice of activity. The pleasant atmosphere and the hands on
engagement with materials, which is part of the process of making and doing,
provides an experience which many people, including those with more profound and
complex needs, can find beneficial and therapeutic. As well as providing for
those with learning difficulties we also offer places to people with
disabilities who would otherwise have limited access to pursue arts and craft
activities. OUR STUDENTS Many of our students are people who experience the
world in a very individual manner, responding in their own unique way. Our
experienced team of tutors, support staff and volunteers are on hand to
encourage their full potential, taking advantage of a modern, well equipped
studio, to produce often striking and surprising art work and designs. COMMUNITY
ETHOS Clearing up, cleaning and recycling also form an important part of studio
activity and students are encouraged to play a full part in taking
responsibility for their workspace. We take recycling seriously and have a
positive attitude to green issues. We buy recycled materials whenever possible
and reuse as much of our own as we can. We try and support other social
enterprises and will buy ethically, sourcing goods and services from local
businesses when available.
