FEEL THE BENEFITS OF CREATIVITY AT

CREATIVE COURSES!

ARTS + ENTERTAINMENT

Humans are instinctively creative; science has shown that time spent creatively boosts our brains, forging neural pathways, protecting from mental decline and allowing us to enter a state of complete absorption, reducing stress and improving wellbeing.

Despite these benefits, recent years have seen a decline in creative education, especially for adults. In our busy lives, making time for this kind of activity can seem difficult, but this in itself makes it all the more important.
At Creative Courses, we offer you the opportunity to make time for yourself, with a wide variety of workshops and classes including ceramics, bookbinding, drawing and painting, intuitive art, creative writing, lots of printmaking and more.
Whether you have always been creative or haven’ t done anything‘ arty’ since school, you are welcome here. While our classes are mostly taught by practising artists and tutors, the emphasis is on experimentation wand enjoyment, rather than strict instruction. In the words of visual artist MaryAnn F. Kohl, we believe that‘ art is a process, not a product’.
This is your chance to meet people, learn new skills and be creative, all in a relaxed, judgement-free environment. We provide teas and good coffee, quality teaching and all the materials- all you need to do is show up and enjoy your day.
