Areas to be covered by the workshop include; (i) Ceramics, (ii) Experimental Art forms; i.e Performance Art and Waste recycling (iii) Bead and wire works and (iv) Photography. These will be handled by eminent artists such as Ayodeji Adewunmi, Boye Ola, Jelili Atiku, Temilola Marindotin, Ariyo Oguntimehin and Adedamola Runsewe.
