Clubs, Small Projects and Bespoke Workshops

We regularly run special projects for schools and groups. Above is a gamelan project for John Jamieson School, co-sponsored by Artforms, which finished with a performance in Leeds Town Hall.

Many other projects, which are often jointly supported by other organisations, are delivered in the Gordon Parry Centre or in schools.
