Is this for me?

The Makers Series workshops are designed for young people aged 16-30 from Luton.

Info

The Makers Series is a brand-new monthly workshop series for young people aged 16-30 in Luton. From calligraphy, to film, to sound, to clay, the series will offer participants the opportunity to learn new practical skills and create something original.

The maiden edition of The Makers Series will kick off on 25 June, exploring a step-by-step painting session. Join Nadia Hussain and learn to create a beautiful piece of artwork from start to finish. Nadia will also share practical tips on brushwork, colour mixing, layering and more to help you build confidence and creativity on the canvas.

The programme will conclude in March 2026 at Marsh House with a young people’s takeover of PLATFORM, our scratch night, showcasing the work of young local creatives.

The Makers Series has been programmed in such a way that you can be a part of it at any time and at any session without feeling left behind. We’d love for you to join us for every monthly session, but if you’re not able to, you don’t have to.

So, here’s to calling all filmmakers, digital artists, designers, musicians, DJs, rap artists, dancers, choreographers, writers, poets, visual artists, actors, producers, creative entrepreneurs, podcasters and more…

If you’re aged 16-30 and live, work or study in Luton, join us. Let’s make something special, right here in Luton.

I am older/younger than the age bracket, can I still come?  

If you feel that you represent young people in Luton, but you are out of the age bracket, please contact [email protected].

I can’t attend all the workshops, is this okay? 

Yes – the workshops are all designed to be open to everyone, regardless of whether you can attend the full programme. Please indicate in the sign-up form which workshops you wish to attend.

Do I need to have any experience of the workshop subjects? 

No experience is necessary. This workshop is open to all skill levels, whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to refine your technique.

If you have any access needs that you’d like to discuss with us, please contact [email protected].

Will there be refreshments available?
