Range of refreshments provided for a nominal sum. Courses can often be joined after the start, just email me to check.

Polegate Community Centre is a large hall with a range of 4 spaces which serves the local Polegate community near Eastbourne in East Sussex. It has very good facilities including a car park and is very near Polegate station and good bus routes. 

The Lounge is a large room with several radiators, lots of windows so fantastic light, different table sizes and a kitchen area in the corners, and a door to the car park for access when appropriate, weather-wise.

Great facilities, large, light, warm room, and free car parking outside. Small groups, enjoyable, creative sessions with lots of demos, refreshments provided.

Personal Projects – any media, any style

Work on your own projects on any subject, within a small, supportive, and friendly group, providing an exciting opportunity to experience other subject matters and media.

Roz will provide comprehensive guidance on the choice and approach of your project / developing and progressing it / finishing, mounting, and framing, and advice on making cards, prints and selling your work. She will also introduce artists whose work is relevant to the approach or use of media you want to explore.

N.B. Due to time restraints in a small group of this type, you need to have some experience with your chosen media.
