Who runs Stills workshops/projects?

• Stills' provides artists to lead your workshops. After consulting with your group the artist will devise a project tailored to your needs, based around an appropriate theme. Highly experienced artists provide expert, skills-based tuition to ensure that your group gets the most out of using our facilities. You can also bring your own artists if you prefer as long as your artists have the skills to use our facilities and equipment.

Can I lead my workshop at Stills?

• Yes, if you have the skills to use Stills facilities or if you take a course or arrange 1 to 1 training prior your session with the group. We offer an induction designed for teachers and support workers, allowing you to take an active role in leading the workshop. Once your confidence has built up you will be able to lead your workshops with minimum support.

Do I get any technical support?
