Art House South Brent is ‘an arts and crafts space for making, mending and meeting in South Brent’ with two fantastic spacious, airy, light-filled studios at the south end of the Old School Community Centre for classes, workshops, exhibitions and events. Art House offers classes and sessions for people of all ages, abilities and experience, to get inspired and learn new skills, make a mess, have fun with new friends (and clear up afterwards!). Please visit the Art House website and view the calendar page - www.arthousesouthbrent.com/calendar.
- Pottery tutor Imogen Taylor-Noble has left the ‘Clay Barn’ for a new studio at Dartington where she will continue her classes. See: http://imogentaylor-noble.com/ for more info.
- Art Drop-In Sessions - Generally on the first Monday of each month (but can vary due to bank holidays). The idea is to get together to draw or do your own arty thing in convivial surroundings (so we can also chat, drink and eat nibbles). Bring along; a drink and a snack (if you wish); your own drawing materials; a thing or two, to put on the table to draw if you fancy trying a still life, or you could do your own thing, like work on an ongoing project. Sometimes there is a led activity by a member of the group. There will be a small charge to cover the room hire - £2 each. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.
