Bus and Bird Arts designs experiences to develop creativity in all ages and abilities. Clare Taylor runs workshops in the unlikeliest of places, from dimly lit corners of nightclubs through to hospital beds. Get in touch with us and kick-start your creativity or build upon existing skills.
Our daily rate ranges upwards from £200 depending on the type of work that is undertaken, for example ceramics sessions may cost more due to the firing and finishing. Our half day rate is £125 and hourly rate (where applicable) is £60 (prep time inclusive). Please feel free to ring Clare Taylor on +44 7738718930 to discuss your budgetary requirements. At present, Bus and Bird Arts covers the counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire but will happily consider travelling further afield.
