“Really worthwhile. Takes you at an easy pace but goes into new creative areas. Felt inspired.” Martin S It was great to be able to teach mid-week on one of my first August summer holiday midweek courses.

“Perfect environment for no stress learning” Jack R As we neared the Summer holidays, July saw another Creative drawing: introduction course.
