Studio Days Spotlight: Conor Van Der Wert
Conor Van Der Wert is a member of our Next Step group and has been attending our Studio Days since it started in July 2024. Conor comes as often as he can, sometimes up to three times a week during holidays!
Conor’s favourite medium is drawing and he can often be found working on large artworks during his Studio Days session. He likes to draw using a variety of materials like felt tip pens, coloured pencils, oil pastels, wax crayons, and paint marker pens. He enjoys layering his work and stacking different patterns. Sometimes he’ll break through the paper too. Conor is currently working on a large red piece of work on paper.
While drawing, Conor likes to talk about different activities he has been to at Purple Patch Arts and Leeds Playhouse. Sometimes he’ll talk about what he’s seen like ambulances, houses, and taxis.



Pyramid Studio Days take place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays. Pyramid member artists can make use of our studio facilities during these days free of charge.
Pyramid Studio Days is part of Finding the Flex, a further development to our ongoing work, Irregular Art Schools. It is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and is delivered in partnership with University of Leeds.
