Looking forward to the New Year!

In March I will be running a series of Creative workshops, at Leaf Hall Community Arts Centre.

On Wednesday 27th April my Taster workshops start. Full details below

For ages 18 to 100 + !
Always wanted to draw but too afraid to try?
Think you can’t ‘draw a straight line’?
Or perhaps you would like to brush up on your skills if they have gone a little ‘rusty’?
Fancy a go at painting, printing, collage or clay but don’t know where to start?
These workshops are for you.
Through a series of simple and fun exercises we will engage your creative brain so you can start to see with an artist’s vision.
We will use different art materials and techniques in each taster session for you to experiment and explore, and discover which media you most enjoy.

The aim of these workshops is to have fun discovering your own creativity!
