What we offer.
At Real Ideas, there's always a wide range of educational activity on offer...
Skills Development
Hands-on training with immersive digital technologies such as projection mapping and spatial audio, to traditional craft disciplines such as print making, cyanotype and monoprinting. Learn through practical exploration with expert facilitators, developing both technical and transferable skills while gaining confidence in a range of disciplines.
Creative & Digital Residencies
We're working hard to design a residency programme which will provide the space, time and tailored support for artists and makers to develop their practice.
