Want to be more creative, but struggle to find the time? Feeling stuck in a creative rut or not even sure where to start? Looking for an AMAZING creative community of women in Gosport?
Then join us for our new season of fun, welcoming creative short courses!
Take a mini deep-dive into different art forms, develop your skills and explore your creativity in ways that feel joyful, low-pressure, and full of play, not perfection.
Come as you are - whether you're already creative, used to be but life got in the way, or you're finally ready to try something new, these sessions are the perfect place to start. Each course is led by professional artists and teachers with loads of experience - not just in their art form, but in making learning feel relaxed, supported, and most importantly, fun.
When and where?
All sessions take place on Tuesday evenings, 7-9pm, at community spaces around Gosport. To get the most out of each opportunity, we ask that you commit to attending every session of each course you sign up for (although we know that the unexpected happens, so there's no pressure if something crops up and you have to miss a session).
