Interested in making art? Book a place on our new Studio Sessions inspired by our current exhibitions and displays including Theaster Gates , Vivian Suter and Op Art in Focus. Each session begins with a special tour around the exhibition followed by a making session in our studio, led by artist Colette Whittington. Working with peers, learn new skills, share ideas, make a new piece of artwork and meet other young people.
Studio Sessions are exclusively for Tate Collective, our free scheme for 16-25 year olds offering discounts and exclusive opportunities across Tate. Sign up and sign in to book your ticket.
