6-Week Creative Art Course

Join our hands‑on, 6‑week evening art course designed to introduce you to three expressive mediums: watercolours, acrylics, and pastels. Whether you are a beginner, returning to art or just want a space to be creative, this relaxed and supportive course is a great opportunity to build your confidence, learn new techniques and practice skills.

Thursdays from 8 October – 19 November 6-8pm @ the HIVE in Leavesden Country Park, WD5 0NX.

Cost: £10 per week or £50 for all 6 weeks. We recommend booking both sessions dedicated to each medium so that you can build on the skills and techniques learnt in the previous week.

The course is led by artists Frances Black and Gillian Blair, who will guide you through each session at your own pace. You will have the opportunity to experiment with three different mediums, develop your skills and practice techniques introduced in the previous session. As well as developing your artistic skills, the sessions provide a welcoming opportunity to socialise, meet new people and enjoy a regular creative activity – all of which can contribute to positive wellbeing.
