Arts and crafts
Thursday morning is ‘creative morning’ at the Springs from 10:00 to 12:00 pm If you fancy yourself as the next Salvador Dali or want to set up a business to rival Hallmark Cards, then why not come along and try your hand. The art class has no tutor and is simply space to explore whatever you feel like drawing or painting. The card-making class is tutor led, and we have a wealth of materials to create your masterpiece for a loved one! Both activities take place in the same room, and it’s a very relaxed, friendly and peaceful environment. Sessions cost £1.50 for 2 hours.
Creative writing
Well, C S Lewis and Barbara Cartland had to start somewhere! (no, it wasn’t here!). The Creative Writing group is led by a tutor supplied by the local education authority and meets on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00 pm. A range of different styles are explored, as well as how to craft a good story or poem, and several members of the group have had work published. Sessions cost £1.50 for the 2 hours.
Computer Classes
If you think that a mouse is a small furry rodent and question why it would need a mat; if you think that a ‘hard drive’ is a trip in the car over Snake Pass in Derbyshire in winter, and that a ‘floppy disc’ needs immediate attention by a chiropractor, then chances are you would benefit from Heather’s patient instruction in the noble science of computing. We run three classes – complete beginner, intermediate, and digital imaging. The classes are a maximum of 5 people which means plenty of personal tuition. Cost is £1.50 per session lasting 2 hours.
