Description

Adventures in Art is our weekly drop-in multi-disciplinary art workshop for adults.

The sessions run on Tuesday mornings, 10am – 12pm.

We have a variety of tutors who usually deliver 3 or 4 weeks in a row, and then a different tutor will take over with a new creative discipline/project, which could include printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and more.

Although the sessions are drop-in and there is no need to book, we do advise booking a few days ahead of each session if you can, just to ensure a place is available for you, as sessions can fill up!

No experience is necessary – everyone is very welcome. It’s a great way of having a go and trying new things in a very friendly and relaxed group.

All you need to attend is a willingness to learn and a joy of getting creative in your own way!

All materials are provided – no need to bring anything with you.

Participants must be aged 18+.
