New Look Thursday Afternoons

In this blog post I list how you can save for January classes, what we are doing in the January Thursday afternoon group. This post has been amended

Thursday afternoons will now be aimed at beginners/those with a little experience. This would also make a great taster class. You can choose from one session i.e. paying each time you come or book a month of 4 classes (prices below). This is exactly the same as the morning class except is aimed at beginners.

This is a super opportunity to kick off the new year with either a new hobby or picking up where you left off. January is quite a dark month and winter weather keeping us all indoors means that it is a great time to draw and paint.

We will be adding tea and cake to the final Thursday Afternoons of January and February, to get that warm cosy feeling going whilst being creative.

P.s. Adding to your drawing toolkit? Looking for coloured pencils? Not sure which makes are better than others?

You can buy single pencils but for some super drawings keep an eye open for sets of pencils that normally come in tin boxes. Ones that have two of each colour are a great start. Look out trusted artist go to's such as Derwent, Faber-Castell and Caran D'Ache. Places to find online - check out Facebook market place, Ebay - used you might be lucky or if you like shopping with Jacksons Art, heres a link below...

At the time of writing Jacksons Art have an offer on some lovely Faber-Castell coloured pencils click here

I receive a small nominal amount for any art materials purchased from Jacksons Art
