We are hosting our first special ‘Critique day’ at Off the Rails. It is open to anyone who has participated on a Fraser Taylor workshop (not necessarily at Off the Rails Arthouse – anywhere as long as Fraser was teaching the course)

This one day vibrant critique will allow you to share your work with a supportive enthusiastic group of fellow artists/designers. You will receive constructive criticism, which will help you to identify strengths and establish methods and approaches on how to develop and advance your practice. Every voice will be valued and relevant in building a community and platform for discussion.

Saturday 19th March 2022 10-4.30pm Fee £40
