Successful Funding Bid for Community Workshops at Torre Abbey

Smooth Space has just received news that we have been funded to run a series of public workshops at Torre Abbey, Torquay. We aim to produce a lively programme developed and delivered by skilled artists/makers and with support from Torre Abbey's Education Officer. The workshops are intended to engage local participants whilst addressing the needs of the local community and will be for young people aged 14 to 16 years.

This newly-funded workshop strand will complement the Smooth Space-Torre Abbey Artist's Residency project. Smooth Space artist's initiative, led by David Harbott and Kate Paxman, is currently working in partnership with Torre Abbey to produce a 12-month artist's residency and associated series of Artists' Conversations.

We have put out an open-call for an experienced Printmaker to devise and deliver the workshops - deadline 5pm Monday 24 November 2014.

The next Artists' Conversation will be with Simon Ryder on 20 November at 7pm - this event is FREE and all are welcome
