Course Overview
Improve your wellbeing through creativity, Friday 12.30-2.30pm

Open Is this course right for me?

You do not need to be ‘good at art’ to join this course. During the sessions, the tutor will introduce you to various ways of making art to enable you to unlock your creativity. In these sessions you will learn to use art as a tool for self- expression; we will start by looking at different artist’s work and styles for inspiration. If you have a disability and /or learning difficulty (for example a hearing or sight impairment) please let CLMK and/or your tutor know as we may be able to offer you extra support or provide different learning materials.
