If you are an absolute beginner but want to give it a go then Drawing for the Terrified! Is the perfect place to to start!

 This 4 week introductory evening course with tutor Jayne Williams will get you started and give you confidence in learning how to draw.

Jayne will not only give you expert tuition, she will hold your hand and give you every encouragement - you will be amazed at what you can achieve through a progression of simple mark-making exercises.

Each week there will be a different theme including tone and value, line and texture, form and space. The lessons will be adaptable and provide you with one-to-one support to help you achieve your goals.

It will be a small, friendly, informal group with plenty of individual tutor time over each session. You will be able to work from your own table and there is plenty of space to spread out. The main studio is on the ground floor and suitable for disabled access.

The course is designed for newcomers and absolutely no experience is expected.
