Artists in Early Years, with October Gallery

Explore how you can use a diversity of artists and artwork as starting points for creative learning in Early Years settings.  

Led by artist and educator Georgie Fay, you’ll spend time in the current exhibition at October Gallery - a gallery which provides a platform for diverse artists from around the world - before trying out creative activities that respond to the artworks, including mark making, printmaking and mixed media. 

You’ll discuss how you can incorporate these approaches and activities into your settings and, drawing on the October Gallery as a resource, ways in which you can meaningfully reference and learn from a diverse range of artists.
