DISTANCE LEARNING (ONLINE) COURSES FOR ADULTS
Artspace’s Adult Education funded ‘Distance Learning’ programme has been designed to enable home learning. Courses are 8 weeks long and are delivered on ZOOM. Artspace will send a package of art materials directly to your home and you can participate in a weekly zoom workshop and receive follow up support via telephone and/or email.

These courses offer FREE places for Gloucestershire residents over 19 years old, on low wage brackets and not currently in employment and/or with fewer than 5 GCSE’s (level 2) including Maths and English.
