Through the Absolute Beginners program artist Brenda Tye introduces a different art medium every month. We supply you with quality artist materials and demonstrate a variety of approaches to using them, through exercises designed to introduce some of the basic elements of art at the same time.

It’s the perfect program for those people who’ve always wanted to study art but don’t know where to start, haven’t made anything for a long time and want to get back into it, or just want to deepen their understanding and appreciation of art through the act of just ‘doing it’ themselves. Come and try them for yourself. No experience required.

Materials kindly provided by Eckersley's Art & Craft.
