The AccessArt Lab: Workshop Sessions

<< Back to AccessArt Lab 


The AccessArt team will use the AccessArt Lab to devise, trial and develop content for the AccessArt website. Explore the Areas of Focus and Core Values of the AccessArt Lab here. 

As part of this process, we will be running in-person workshops at the studio at Stapleford Granary, Cambridgeshire.

These workshops sessions will evolve over our time at Stapleford and fall into two workshop types:

Invite-only sessions

AccessArt Lab Thinking Boxes

The Invite-Only Sessions will be open to selected experts in the field to help the AccessArt team brainstorm and better understand content and approach. This is an exciting opportunity for more experienced educators to join in and help contribute to stimulating thinking and discussion.

If you are an educator and would be interested in attending any in-person, invite-only sessions, please read our “AccessArt Lab Areas of Focus & Core Values” post to make sure you understand the spirit and intention which will drive these sessions. If you would then like to be added to our register of interested educators list, please email paula@accessart.org.uk with the following information:

  • Name and contact details

  • Brief outline of educational areas of interest / experience, including audience/pupils.

Open sessions

AccessArt Lab Materials

The Open Sessions will be open to various audiences. These sessions will be programmed over the following weeks and months. 

To make sure you are kept up to date when we announce new in-person, open sessions, please:

Whilst the outcomes of the AccessArt Lab will be shared via AccessArt, Paula Briggs will also be sharing her own personal thoughts and observations about how we enable the creative process through nurturing a safe and exploratory space via The Everyday School of Art on Substack. 

The AccessArt Lab will begin in January 2025. Please join the AccessArt Network Facebook group and register at AccessArt for free to be kept in touch.

Stapleford Granary is an Arts Centre whose aim is to foster cultural understanding through education.

The venue offers music, art, education & conversation in a beautiful 19th century farm complex, situated at the foot of the Gog Magog Downs, just 5 miles from the centre of Cambridge.
