Life Drawing
These 2 hour sessions (including tea break with biscuits) are for fun – you don’t need to be good at drawing or indeed any form of art – it’s about making marks and shapes and being surmised with what you can achieve.
Being creative is good for mental health with doodling often being described as yoga for the mind.
Sessions are on a drop in basis – no need to book.
Tuesday 11-1pm
Wednesday 7-9pm
watercolour & mixed media - Georgia Taylor
I have been teaching Art for seven years, having studied art in Bristol. I began a career as a primary school teacher and now teach art to adults, but my teaching experience helps me to plan good lessons with clear objectives. The two hour class often starts with a review of the previous weeks lesson and then we look at the colours, materials and subject for the session. A lot of my group have been attending for a few years and are confident to try new colours and techniques. People new to the class will be guided and taught at their pace. Materials and paints can be borrowed initially, but all students need their own watercolour paper and I recommend Bockingford A3 paper for my lessons. I encourage curiosity and experimentation. Playing and having fun whilst learning and making new friends.

Music production
Each session is a personalised, one-to-one hourly lesson tailored to your goals—whether you’re a complete beginner learning the basics or an advanced producer refining your workflow. With active experience in the music industry, frequent releases, and professional work composing and producing for games, film, and TV, I bring real-world insight directly into your learning.
Classes focus on practical, hands-on skills in a software of your choice, but specialising in Logic Pro (free trail available). Covering everything from beat-making and sound design to mixing, arrangement, and creative workflow.
Additional learning materials and project files are provided during lessons to help you grow both in and between sessions.

This course is suitable for all levels. You will draw from shells and fossils from observation using a variety of different drawing media and drawing styles, including silverpoint. You will use these drawings as inspiration to make gelli and lino prints.

music - DJ lessons
Mike hodgson
DJ lessons are tailored to your skill level, whether you’re touching decks for the first time or looking to refine your mixes. With experience performing in clubs and private events, I bring practical, real-world techniques to help you build confidence behind the decks. You can learn any genre you’re passionate about, with a focus on house and techno mixing, track selection, beatmatching, EQ control, transitions, and performance flow.
I can also guide you through choosing the right gear. Controllers, mixers, headphones, and software—based on your goals and budget. All you need is a passion for music and willingness to learn.
