“Very relaxing and enjoyable because I learned a lot and improved.”

Our first children’s and Youth Sunday art class took place in January with children eager to continue their exploration of art materials and techniques. It was great to see so many students returning from last year. Tracy, the tutor, did a fab job of enthusing and guiding the students through the fun and engaging projects she had planned. Parents spent their time making new friends, sharing experiences chatting or quietly reading while relaxing on the sofas and chairs in our corridor seating areas. Hot drinks and biscuits kept them warm and fed while their children drew and painted in their studio. Read their comments below.
