The aim of the workshop was to provide an opportunity for the young adults to work alongside a practising artist and to experience a unique, focused day of practical activity. It also increased student knowledge and understanding of Ian's working methods and provided an important and valuable experience which will contribute towards the critical studies aspect of their GCSE course. Ian comments, "It was great fun, the enthusiasm of the staff and students was fantastic, we made loads of work, I just don’t know how the teachers do that 5 days a week, it was intense!"
