Visual Arts Sessions

Last term, we worked with visual artist Nerissa Cargill Thompson. We explored the theme of art and nature, and studied the work of various artists and used a range of techniques to create our own inspired pieces.

This term we will be working with visual artist Claire Hignett. During this ten week course we will explore texture through drawing, making collages and turning these into prints.

Autumn term sessions will begin on Thursday 19th of September and take place every following Thursday, 10am to 12.00 noon.

The location of these sessions is Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Peel Park, The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WU

Sessions are free to Salford residents and everyone is always welcome.

In the Autumn term DIY BUDS will be exploring issues of importance to us through the lens of comedy.

If you are adult with lived experience of learning disabilities and want to join in with drama games, meet new people, have fun and learn new skills – then this is for you. We always welcome new people to come along and give DIY BUDS a try.
