 Hi everyone!


Now Autumn is creeping up upon us, I'd like to share some creative zoom classes that will help keep you cosy.

Wave Cafe's Art Club on Zoom starts up again with a change of time - 3pm, on Thursday afternoons. Read on for more information!

First, Exploring Creativity - we look at a different artist each week, and spend the first hour learning about them and their life, and then we have a discussion. After a short break we make practical work to a theme, inspired by that week's artist. 

The classes are informative and fun, with lots of learning and a very friendly atmosphere (albeit on Zoom!).

I'm keeping it on Zoom, and I'm keeping it as a pay what you can class, fees payable by bank transfer. The minimum price is £5 per class, and maximum price is £20 per class, or anything in between - whatever you can afford. You can attend just one class, or all 10, or any number - just let me know. You can pay in instalments, or up front. 

I'm also offering a special discount deal for those of you who are unable to attend the live sessions. 

For a flat fee of £35, you'll receive all the information on the artist each week via email - I usually send these emails out on Sunday afternoon/evening. You'll also have access to the email sharing thread, where students and I post images of the work we've made in class to share and discuss, and I'll send you a video of half an hour of the demo each week via email, which will be sent to you by Wednesday evening every week. So you can read all about the artists, share your work and see other students' work in the email thread, and make artwork by following my demo via the video, at a time that suits you.

If you're interested in joining "live", or in taking up the special discount offer, please email me as soon as possible - the first class takes place this Tuesday morning, September 8th.
