Welcome to the Art Workshop

Art Workshop is a charity space in central Swanage dedicated to providing accessible art workshops for everyone, regardless of artistic skill or resources.

We specialise in easy, low-tech art-making for people who want space to develop confidence or socialise. We are all volunteers which helps keep our costs low.

We welcome you to look in at any of our sessions, without pressure.

Sadly, we have taken the decision to close during the new Lockdown. While Support Groups are still allowed, we feel the new variant presents increased dangers.

We will re-open as soon as we feel it is safe to do so. Please watch this space - and keep safe yourself!

How to Find us
