INCLUSION THROUGH CREATIVITY
Discover how sign language visual communication and art bring communities together.
SEE & CREATE is for everyone who wants to express their creativity through hands-on visual arts.
Our mission is to break down barriers to participation in the visual arts supporting people of any age or background to have fun and creatively express themselves in a safe accessible and inclusive environment where everyone can participate on an equal footing.
All of our events are delivered in British Sign Language (BSL) and spoken English, and we have a unique focus on adapting to participants’ individual needs using visual means of communication.
We love to support people on their creative journeys and see the results of their endeavours!
