What Filbert: Artist in School can offer your school

 Imagine Picasso works with children Filbert: Artist in School bringing the great artists, such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Dali and many others, to life in an assembly in your school. With lots of pupil participation, it is a fantastic start to the day.
