Workshops in Derby
Sometimes you want to do, not just listen. Our workshops are hands-on sessions where you'll learn practical skills in a small group setting, guided by experienced practitioners who do this work every day.
About Workshops in Derby
While most COLLECTIVE. events are talks, our workshops offer something different: the chance to learn by doing. These are smaller, more intensive sessions where you'll work through exercises, try new tools, or develop new skills with guidance from an expert. Perfect for when you want to go deeper on a topic.
Derby's unique mix of traditional industries and emerging sectors creates fascinating conversations. Our events bring together people from aerospace engineering, manufacturing, creative agencies, tech startups, and everything in between—all curious about learning something new.
Who It's For
Anyone who learns best by doing. Each workshop clearly states what skill level is expected—some are designed for complete beginners, others assume some existing knowledge. Check the individual workshop description to make sure it's right for your level.
What to Expect
Small group sizes mean you'll get personal attention and have your questions answered. You'll leave with practical skills you can use immediately, not just theoretical knowledge. Workshops are interactive—expect to participate, not just observe.
