What exciting news! I am starting an adults only art group. So get those kids in bed, park your partner in front of the box and hot foot it down to the fully equipped studio at ArtBugs for a fantastic evening.

All sessions are artist led by myself, but this is not about learning how to paint a certain way or everyone producing the same type of tapestry!

This is sooooo much more fun than that!

Come along for a chance to explore materials, create anything you desire, develop skills if you wish, ...

REALISE is a fantastic project for 16-19 year olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).

As such, to provide myself with some direction I walked around the local area, picking up discarded items from the pavements, bus shelters and benches. These objects then formed the basis for my painting.

Have a look and see what objects you can spot hiding away in the blue...
