Workshops

Artist workshops are held at The Bullpen to promote learning, making and the exchange of ideas. Artist networking and exhibitions are prominent, but the main emphasis of our artist workshops are for professional creative development, challenging artistic practice and finding time to make new work in a supportive and dynamic environment. At each workshop, guest speakers are invited to share their practice with the participating artists through evening talks/lectures. Artist workshops are run for professional creative practitioners, however, we strongly believe in making arts processes accessible and avaliable to all. During our artist workshops, school/community groups and visitor workshops are run alongside. Visitors are given the opportunity to watch artists at work, make their own work alongside the artists and receive tuition and guidance through processes and ideas.

Workshops are on offer, covering a wide range of techniques and processes. Interactive learning opportunities are available, from first-hand observation of artists at work and through demonstrations. Open studios present an educational resource and hands-on learning experiences.

The Bullpen is developing cultural richness, raising awareness of art locally and bringing contemporary visual arts to the rural community. Talks and lectures are held on the premises, with permanant and temporary exhibitions of leading local artists' work and demonstrations given. Workshops target all age groups.

The farm business is diversifying in order to maintain the economic vitality of the rural community - and The Bullpen, in all its elements, aids the farm diversification process.

What they say about The Bullpen:

Having spent a memorable afternoon and morning on a bronze casting workshop for non-artists, I can wholeheartedly recommend this type of event to anyone. As an art historian, it was especially valuable for me to be able to experience at first hand the process of making the type of object I spend my working life studying. Furthermore, coming to watch the final pouring of the hot molten bronze into our moulds was a thrilling experience.
