Call into the center and check out some of the fantastic pieces of work that have produced that are currently  adorning our hallway wall by class participants - some with little or no previous formal artistic guidance!

Dont forget to come along to our interactive drawing session on Thursday where we have plenty of drawing materials available for you to let your artistic or creative side out.
