WheelWorks can add value to events of all shapes and sizes — from a youth club open day to the Lord Mayor’s Show! — with a range of fun and educational arts and technology activities for ages 4 – 25.
Our Workshops are themed around one or more traditional or digital art forms.
They can focus:
on a particular social issue which the participant group would like to explore
on primarily educational purposes
on having fun
on all of the above!
WheelWorks Workshops usually last around 2 – 3 hours on one particular day and can take place either on our mobile arts studio the ArtCart, at your school, youth club or event venue.
