A summer course for artistic youngsters is being launched next week at The Artworks, the Calderdale-based art school founded by Huddersfield artist John Ross.

The five-week intensive drawing course will culminate in a ‘Graduates Exhibition’ at the schools’s newly-opened 1830 gallery.

Students, aged from 10 to 16, will be taken through a programme of creative activities by tutors Lucy Bergham and Lauren Iredale.

For more information on the course at the school’s centre in the former Holdsworth’s Mill, Halifax, check out www.theartworks.org.uk or call 01422 346900.

The cost is £135 (£15 per three-hour session).
