Our Workshops
- Our workshops are a chance to be able to share our love of this industry and encourage and inspire people to realize their own creative vision and destiny.
- We help to find ways to tap into personal talent and to tell the Digital Stories locked inside those we work with.
- Our Ethos is to encourage Imagination through storytelling, Develop ways for people to Communicate their ideas into a form that is right for them and to help build the Confidence to help share them with an audience.
- Part of our relationship with our students is to find ways to overcome these three aspects in a comfortable and a working studio environment with the vision to help promote their work within the creative industries.
- We are a recognized Arts Award Centre and deliver Arts Award Recognized Qualifications from ages 9 to 25 years old. Arts Award Website and a video from their Youtube Channel.
