The workshops take place in our large, light and airy Studio and each session will give people the confidence to try a new skill and take part in creative and enjoyable activities as part of new group. The sessions are a mix of pay what you can drop-in activities and ticketed workshops.
All equipment and materials, as well as tea and coffee, will be provided.
