Introduction to DJing with Radio Frequency

Running on both Friday and Saturday this DJ class requires no previous experience. Split into two halves; part one will look at teaching you all there is to know about DJ equipment, beat mixing and learning the skills needed to spin the tunes at the next party. Part two is computer based and teaches you how to compose your own track, make loops and write lyrics. Take home your own track at the end of the day!

Scavenged Sculptures with Sarah Mason

Scavenged sculptures is a one day workshop where you will create a really personal and unique relief sculpture by working with recycled, scrap or found materials. These sculptures are all totally individual as your material choices combined with how you use them ensure that you create a highly personal piece of artwork which, you can take away at the end of the day.

Hang out with the Hoanies on Friday and Saturday and learn how to shoot your very own album cover! Tailored for beginners with a passion for photography, this one-day course cuts through technicalities and covers the basic elements that make up great shots.
