Community Art Courses Beginning
Hi there,
Our Art Development courses are beginning again for our local arts community this week. A few spaces left for age 9 through to adults.
Come and join us and learn how to do that lovely drawing or painting for yourself or that special someone in your life. (Xmas is just around the corner!) Or try your hand at clay work or Sculpture for a change. You can research your own themes/ideas and work at your own pace to get them done. Your tutor will explain the techniques you will need and encourage you to explore different media along the way.
Hope to hear from you.
