Job Summary (Description of main purpose of job)


The Creative Arts Team encourages artists with a variety of learning disabilities to explore and develop their potential in a friendly and supportive environment.

We believe that an individual's interests and vision should be at the heart of their creative experience.

A wide choice of arts and crafts are on offer, including drawing, painting, ceramics and sculpture, weaving, printing, felt making or other têxtiles, digital photography and paper arts.

Some artists have developed their own distinctive style and enjoy promoting and selling their work through local exhibitions and sales.
