Painting and drawing, yes, but much much more. Silk scarf painting, embroidery, decoupage, fabric painting, sawdust pottery, batik, the list is endless and the materials are cheap. Videos of artists, their lives and works and discussions are all part of the content as is coffee at 10.30am.

          People have been amazed at what they can create and the awareness this has kindled has made walks, holidays or even shopping more interesting. Tom makes beautiful cards, Shirley exquisite silk scarves, Fay, incredible cushion covers and Colette stunning decoupage. Roy’s unbelievable acrylics of trains, Jacky's papier mache - well! And Judith's    amazing embroidery etc.

          This year's themes have been Silhouettes, Reflections and Shadows if anyone wanted one.

          We are under the University of Hull's umbrella and have been for fifteen years. We are both a leisure and a structured group, meeting at the Leisure Centre on Wednesdays 9.30 – 12.30.

          Art and Design – Past and Present starts on 9th April for 7 weeks.

          Art & Design with Autumn starts October 1st with terms in Autumn and Winter.

Don't be shy or self critical come and try this friendly class in the summer term.

Come and see what it is all about.
