<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThey say you shouldn\u2019t mix business with pleasure, but it was impossible not to. We couldn’t help but become friends with these lovely people, and we looked forward to seeing them every week. It wasn\u2019t like a real job\u2014it was hard work, but it was wonderful fun. We went home knowing that everybody had had a great day and was happy with what they\u2019d achieved in class and could carry on enjoying this at home long after the hall doors had closed. At the end of each course, during our exhibitions, we got to meet family members and friends who came to support them and view their work. It really was the nicest feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the branches have gone on to organise regular meals for all the students, trips to art galleries and museums, and special shows. Some even bake wonderful cakes and raise money for charity. We are regular donors ourselves and, over the past 15 years, our collective efforts have supported numerous charities although I have lost track of what we have collectively raised. Our most recent fundraiser, still ongoing, has raised \u00a35,262 for the Horizon Scandal Fund, benefiting sub-postmasters who really needed the financial help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On another note, some students have gone on to become professional and to have exhibitions, sell their work and take commissions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our art classes are more than just a place to learn; they are often likened to being part of a club, a part of something lovely, enriching the lives of those who attend across the country, and in some cases the place where future treasured family heirlooms are created!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can\u2019t wait to see you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best wishes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
