Welcome to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society.

Schools Workshops

Mackintosh Queen’s Cross is one of Glasgow's hidden architectural gems and is the only church building in the world designed by the great Scottish architect designer and artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

It is now the international headquarters of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. We believe that education, skills and learning are the key to success and living a prosperous and fulfilled life. Using Mackintosh’s iconic building is a major asset in delivering lively learning resources and workshops for schools.

This will involve using the wonderful environment of Mackintosh Queen’s Cross and the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh to inspire young people to develop creative ideas which they will explore and develop through creative activities

We are happy to adapt our workshops to different levels. All workshops can be tailored for additional support for learning. If you have any special requests or queries please get in touch with us at 0141 946 6600 or email info@crmsociety.com

Workshops cost £75.00 for up to 33 pupils.
