Into Art? 13–18 years old? Then get creative at Art Lab this summer

Mess with media and create art in our summer series of creative workshops for 13–18 year olds. Led by an artist, you’ll explore working with different materials to create art which will be showcased in our summer Art Lab exhibition at Tate St Ives.
