Weekly & Monthly Study Workshops
with Hugh Grant
Study workshops are an easy, commitment free way of learning. Effectively these study sessions run like an open workshop where you decide what you would like to bring and/or work with. Hugh will instruct and aid in work over the course of the session.
Each session will have an umbrella topic based on what scope of work is best suited to that particular time of year. To start each workshop a small lecture or discussion time will outline the work of the week.
Open Study workshops will happen every fortnight on Wednesday evenings and once per month all day Sunday.
Options to book:
All Day Sunday
Wednesday Evening
