UPDATE: With our Introductory class just around the corner (next Friday!) bare in mind, this will most likely be an hour long intro just to give you all the inside scoop of what the class will offer, discuss the future of the class and include a couple of light drawing exercises to get started. Following the intro, the gallery will be hosting a BYO ART event at 6pm that I would encourage everyone to stick around for! Donation for the first class is suggested. I shall keep you all updated as the date approaches!
