Our classes and workshops
Open to everyone. Options for all skill levels. Daytime, evening and weekends groups and classes
Art or craft classes can improve your creative thinking, alleviate stress and build resilience in your brain. With our tutors you will learn how to enhance your creativity.
Our classes provide a pathway to learn how to draw, paint, sew or quilt. Natural creativity is not a requirement.
The absolute beginner classes are designed for those keen to learn but with no experience. This type of class is structured; taking a step-by-step approach to all the basic techniques and knowledge you will need.
Following completion of this class you can progress to an advanced beginner class which will build on those basic skills and expand the range of techniques you can apply to your art or craft.
For those with more experience our intermediate classes and specialist workshops provide a way to explore more advanced techniques or different styles of work that can expand your creative expression.
Our members get discounted rates of 20-30% on tutored classes
If you plan to attend more than one workshop or term class you will save significantly by joining as a member.
The number of non-member places are limited so enrol early to secure your place. See here for the full range of membership benefits.
