He has worked in collections in the UK\, Germany and New York and exhibits regularly with galleries and art fairs. \n\n\n\n“Watercolour painting is a perfect medium for capturing the energy and the drama of the landscape. I love its vibrancy and fluidity. Whilst it is extremely challenging\, it is completely addictive as no other medium offers the same degree of spontaneity. Most of my work is inspired by memories\, music and the elements of the landscape.” Rod Craig 2026.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£35.00 per person \n\n\n\n£30.00 for Pass holders \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 25 July\, Saturday 22 August and Saturday 19 September 2026 \n\n\n\nFrom 11.00am to 3.30pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nStables Café \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note that food and drink is not provided and you are to bring your own painting equipment.

Taking part in these activities will help scientists discover more about children’s behaviour and how their brains work. \n\n\n\nStudy 1: Study on decision making \n\n\n\nChildren will watch objects being placed into containers and asked to find the object. This practical task will help the researchers investigate how children make logical decisions. Ages 2.5 to 5 years. \n\n\n\nStudy 2: Recognition of emotional expressions \n\n\n\nChildren will be asked to rate several drawings of emotions on a tablet\, helping researchers to investigate children’s understanding of emotions. Ages 4 to 12 years. \n\n\n\nPlease note that there are limited spaces and there will be a sign-up sheet available on the day to sign up to take part in the study whilst at the Museum.

Once we have a collection of stories\, we facilitate a group discussion to identify what can be learned from them. \n\n\n\nStorytelling helps us to do justice to the messiness of people’s lives in a way that tick boxes and feedback forms never can. It helps us to listen\, it’s a meaningful and collaborative process\, and it brings to light rich\, human stories that we can learn from. \n\n\n\nSince 2017 we’ve worked with over 250 local and national partners and counting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n\nStandard £250.00\n\n\n\nPay more £300.00\n\n\n\nPay less £150.00\n\n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 30 minutes \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note the attendee will be contacted with a link to join a week before the training. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.
