What's On - Art Classes and Events in June
Here comes the Summer! Make some time for creativity with a range of workshops in our HQ building on Main St, Bangor.
Vouchers & Gifting
With so much workshop choice, a voucher is the perfect gift for your arty loved ones!
Boom Vouchers can be redeemed against any workshop using the Boom Studios ticketing system.
At the moment, they are not redeemable againsts Jewellery classes or Bangor Sketch Club membership/tickets, as those facilitators use their own booking system. You can contact Gabriela for jewellery, and Jenni for BSC.

Volunteering at Boom Studios - Get Involved!
This month we’re proud to receive the Volunteer Friendly Award, an international quality mark recognising our good and ever-improving practices in volunteer management at Boom.
We’re always looking to welcome new volunteers to the studios and are mid-roll-out of a new recruiment process, policy and handbook. Please sign up via the About Us section above and we’d love to see you in the studios soon.
Recent events include Sea Bangor passport stamping station, where we made badges, bookmarks and promoted ourselves in general, or you may like to help Marianne with Messy Mornings, lend a hand at Chilli Fest graffiti wall, pick up a roller for a spot of DIY, or welcome visitors to Late Night Art Bangor. Always changing, always flexible, always welcome.
