Workshops
CDM has fully equipped work areas, and is the perfect place for running Workshops. All materials and equipment are readily at hand. If any works need to be left to dry, they can remain securely here, and collected when convenient. It is a creative environment, relaxed and friendly. Most of our classes are led by artists, enthusiastic about their practise and experts in their field. Tea and coffee is included, and biscuits and cakes are often provided.
