Our classes and workshops
Open to everyone, have options for all skill levels, and include evening and weekends
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 who are keen to learn but have no experience yet. In this type of class you will learn in a structured, step-by-step approach all the basic techniques and knowledge that you will need.
Following this class you can progress to an advanced beginner class which will build on those basic skills and expand the range of techniques that 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.
Open to everyone but our members get discounted rates
Discounts range from 20-30% each class
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.
