The Evening Beginners Art Courses (6:30-8:30pm at the Artful Studio, Hanham Road, Kingswood, Bristol) are for anyone who wants to learn more about art and creativity in a fun, new, refreshing way.
Perfect for those just starting out and wanting to find their feet in the art world, as an introduction to a university course, or for those wanting a fresh perspective on their own creativity.
