Evening Art Club
A relaxed, adult-only space to make work at your own pace.
Starting from Thursday 23rd April, these sessions offer a welcoming environment for anyone looking to carve out some dedicated creative time. You do not need to begin on that exact date, but we do ask that you book a block of five sessions to get the most from the experience.
It does not matter what experience you have, or even if you have none at all. Bring whatever you are working on, whether that is painting, drawing, or ideas in progress, and spend a couple of hours making alongside others in a calm, supportive setting. Some basic materials will be available if you need a hand getting started.
Local artist Kevin Threlfall will be on hand for guidance if you would like it, but there is no formal teaching and no pressure. This is simply time, space, and good company to help you reconnect with your creativity.
To book a space or find out more, please contact info@marsdenmechanics.co.uk.
