Art For the CuriousArt for the Curious with Jayne Blacklock

Thursday’s 10.00am – 12.00pm (from Thursday 7 October)

Everyone is born with the ability to draw and paint but sometimes, somewhere along the line, some of us begin to believe that we can’t. This is a series of adult workshops looking at using a range of mediums and techniques to create your own artwork. From pencil, charcoal, soft pastel and paint, you will be guided through how to use each one to explore a range of subjects, giving you confidence and skills to then produce your own work.

First session Thursday 7 October for 10 weeks. Sessions are free but a ‘Pay What You Decide’ donation is welcome towards materials and resources. Please book your place in advance. All abilities welcome.

Code is the language of computers, including those in phones, cars, and even in lightbulbs! Learning to code is learning to talk to computers in their native language.

Coding and digital creation are invaluable skills these days, and understanding how computers work and how to interact with them will open up lots of opportunities for you.
