A weekly art group for those who are returning to art after a break. A chance to try out a variety of materials in a fun informal and sociable group. Returning to Art is a refresher course for rekindling that love of Art from school but perhaps haven’t had a chance to continue, this is an opportunity to reignite the spark for the creative subject. You can book the whole term or come to a session as a one off.

If you are looking for a course in a specific art technique please look at Lynne’s Monday afternoon short courses which offer a smaller group size and detailed teaching in individual art forms. If you are returning to art, perhaps start by coming to the morning session and then progressing to an afternoon course once you feel confident.

About the workshop leader:

The course is led by Lynne Mackay, an artist and secondary school art teacher for over 20 years. As a farmer’s daughter growing up on the Somerset Levels, she has always had a huge passion for natural beauty. Lynne is inspired by the surrounding landscapes, flora and fauna of the Somerset Levels and Cornish seascapes.

Lynne loves to capture treasured memories in pencil, acrylic and watercolour painting, reduction lino printing, hand embroidered felt appliqué and machine embroidery.
