Calling Local Artists & Creative Practitioners

We are currently exploring a new community arts project in and around Ipswich, supporting individuals living with long-term health conditions to access creative, inclusive workshops.

We would love to hear from local artists, makers, and creative practitioners who may be interested in delivering workshops as part of the project.

Workshops could include:

- Painting, drawing or mixed media
- Textiles, sewing or craft-based activities
- Pottery, ceramics or clay work
- Photography or digital arts
- Creative writing or storytelling
- Music, movement or other creative wellbeing activities

The workshops will be aimed at beginners, so we’re looking for artists who are friendly, supportive, and confident working with community groups.

To register your interest, please contact us with:

- A short introduction
- The type of workshops you could offer
- Any relevant experience
- Your availability

Please message us directly or email: [email protected]

Thank you — we’d love to connect with local creatives who are passionate about making arts accessible to the community.
