This long running and always over subscribed part time course, runs over two terms of 8 two and a half hour evening sessions - on Tuesdays - and three Saturday workshops. (58 taught hours plus optional reading and self directed written work) This will be this courses tenth year. Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds- artists, teachers, health workers etc and have very diverse skills and interests.

Arts & Health Course:
for Participatory Visual Arts
This new part time course runs over 10, six hour, Friday sessions. (60 taught hours plus additional reading and written work as well as further optional study) The course runs over an eight month period. Participants are expected to have very diverse skills and interests and to be already engaged in using participatory visual art in some form of health context. If new to the field participants need to be able to arrange work experience (voluntary or paid) for themselves in this area for the duration of the course.

�This course was an eye-opener into the use of art in therapy. I�d recommend it to anybody who wants to explore the possibilities of art in health�.

Insider Art runs a variety of training events.
From October 2006 we are running two different part time courses as well as workshops.

Insider Art provide a variety of professional development and staff training workshops as well as individual and group mentoring.. These are individually tailored to suit the specific groups or individuals needs. Such workshops can be initially based on an existing workshop format or often designed from scratch to meet a particular need. Examples include health care professionals seeking effective ways of engaging young children with art making; assisting community arts programmes to develop sensitive arts making workshops for people with particular mental health needs; enabling artists to explore and process personal material as well as talks or lectures and discussion groups about particular aspects of arts, health and therapy work

For information see the main menu on Training and Mentoring.

We run a variety of one day Workshops which are generally scheduled on Fridays or Saturdays. We increasingly run these workshops tailored to the particular group who are interested.
If your staff team or artists group is keen on any given workshop it is quite possible for us to come to you to run it.

We do continue to run some stand alone workshops.
