The series is a collaboration between the International Student Experience team (ISE) in Student Services and LU Arts, the University’s extra-curricular arts programme.
The sessions alternate between two different formats: artist-led workshops where you will be taught a specific skill and art sessions where you can use the materials in the arts trolley to create something yourself.
All materials are provided for every session, and you can take away anything you make at the end. The arts trolley sessions each have a theme and/or prompts to help guide you and a member of ISE or LU Arts will be on hand at each session.
The sessions are suitable for all ability levels, no previous experience is necessary.
