We warmly invite families with a child/children with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) and their siblings to join us for a free art workshop at Autograph’s gallery in Hackney. The whole family is invited to get involved in creative play exploring the senses – playing with textures, light, sculpture and a variety of art materials.

Children with complex needs are welcome. This inclusive event will be led by Katriona Beales – an artist educator with extensive experience creating and leading workshops for families with children with SEND – and Tirzah Mileham, an artist and member of Submit to Love, a supported studio based locally in Hackney.

Autograph’s gallery is accessible and step-free. You can expect a warm welcome from our staff and volunteers before diving into a fun session of art-making and experimentation. To get a better sense of our workshops, watch the video and see the images below.

Our family send workshops take place monthly. Would you like to know when future workshops are announced? Click here to join our Family SEND mailing list.
