Summer School returns with a fun week of FREE creative workshops from 11 – 15 August 2025

Artichoke’s FREE Summer School returns for the third year running

Join us from the 11- 15 August for a week-long programme of exciting creative workshops designed to help young people discover their inner artist.

London-based Mural Artist and Facilitator, Tasnim Mahdy, returns to lead a jam-packed programme full of fun activities and a variety of artistic mediums to explore. It’s the perfect week to get creative, make new friends or simply try something new.

During our 5-day programme, young people will explore different mediums including: collage, clay, painting, drawing and graffiti, and will take part in photography and music making workshops with industry professionals.
