At the Sheffield Institute for the Recording Arts summer camp, students explored the intersection of creativity and technology with a special workshop led by AI expert Jason Michael Perry.

Jason shared insights on how emerging AI tools can enhance creative workflows across music production, filmmaking, and digital storytelling. Each camper also received a signed copy of his book, providing them with valuable resources to continue their learning beyond the studio.

We're proud to empower the next generation of creators with both inspiration and practical knowledge.
