Need a change of scene or break from a screen? You may not have picked up a paintbrush since school or be a regular arty type- don't worry, Creative Coffee is suitable for all. It provides a supportive, safe, environment just to have a go, whilst enjoying a coffee, cake and natter at the same time!

Each week we will have a go at exploring a new artistic idea or technique. There will be initial input from professional art teacher, Sarah, who will explain and demonstrate, then be on hand to advise and guide. Over the weeks we will explore drawing, painting, printmaking and collage. Every week will be different, so you can dip in and out of sessions as it suits you.

All materials will be provided- you may wish to bring an apron as some materials may stain your clothes.

Each session costs just £12 and includes art materials, a mug of coffee and a yummy cake.

Come with a friend or come with yourself- all ages are welcome!

Following the success of Creative Coffee and feedback from our participants, we are launching monthly evening workshops.  The lovely ladies at Como Blend have agreed to open specially for us, so we will have the cafe to ourselves.   Just like Creative Coffee, we provide a supportive, safe, environment just to have a go.  The longer session means we will have time to take on bigger projects and enjoy a glass of Prosecco along with a natter.

Each month will have a different focus. There will be initial input from professional art teacher, Sarah, who will explain and demonstrate, then be on hand to advise and guide.

All materials will be provided- you may wish to bring an apron as some materials may stain your clothes.

Each workshop costs just £25 and includes all art materials, a glass of Prosecco and nibbles.  The coffee shop will be open, so there will be an opportunity to purchase further drinks and snacks.

Come with a friend or come with yourself- all ages are welcome!

Workshops run from 6.45-9pm
