Artburst co-ordinated the week magnificently and created a wonderful inclusive working atmosphere between all concerned, leading and encouraging the workshops which created the installation for the town hall. They fully understood the needs of our pupils and worked to ensure that all of the activities were appropriate to the needs and aptitudes of our students while maintaining challenging work for our mainstream partners. The final presentation in the Town Hall was very impressive and received high praise from all who visited the event. Most importantly for those of us working in the special needs areas, Artburst proved that they could make the process of art as important and as valuable as the product.Derek Lyseight-Jones
The Artburst workshops were fun, entertaining and geared towards the children’s level. The artist captured the children's interest right from the start and they especially loved listening to the animated stories! The children were engaged in the activities at all times and enjoyed every minute. The children's performances at the end were brilliant and were a fantastic way to show off their pieces of art.Tessa Byrne
Artburst are excellent providers planning well organised courses for our young people. Our Monitoring officers have praised their provision and we get positive feedback from students, venue managers and parents.Stuart Cameron
