The Art Class on Friday mornings in the Reading Room is an enjoyable class.  We take our classes seriously but the aim is to relax and have fun whilst we learn.

My aim is to develop individual ability and confidence.  We cover many aspects of Art and explore different mediums from time to time.  We began as a drawing and watercolour class but some have moved on to using Acrylics.  I teach basics techniques as well as encouraging personal artistic development and exploration.  All abilities are welcome.

We enjoy our classes and welcome newcomers.  I am proud to say that my students are producing some excellent work that we wanted to share so last Christmas (2015) we opened the doors for our first "mini exhibition while we worked"!  It was a successful morning which we repeated in March 2016.

If you would like to join us pop in one Friday morning during term time or contact me to find out details.
