Workshops
Art can help bring about change for a resilient and sustainable present and future, reducing feelings of isolation and helping to heal our culture.
SYSTA artivism workshops use drawing, doodling, painting, collagraph printing, textiles, rivers of type, upcycling & bookmaking to engage & inspire you, whether you are 10 or 110, at home and at work.
​
Get in touch to book a workshop where we will use art to create work to inspire empathy, eco-literacy and self-restraint to consume less and reinvent our culture from a consumer to a conserver/ecological economy.
SYSTA provides online or in-person workshops. In-person small groups are £10 per person plus materials and travel. Organisations (maximum 30 people) for 1 day £200 plus materials and travel. Workshops can take place at your workplace for sustainability & wellbeing days, at community groups, with home-educated children, at events, celebrations, birthday parties, schools or family gatherings. ​​
Workshops provide a space for freedom, play, imagination, moments of discovery and outcomes unknown. A space for radical reimagination of the story of a sustainable world. You can choose a creative focus for your workshop from the different projects in the SYSTA Artivism toolkit.
