Testimonial
Jenny
' I think of the Art House as a 'box of delights'. I've tried most of the activities on offer and have loved them all: the workshops (lino-cutting, rag-rugging and collage) were great fun; the Wednesday Sketchbook Class has been invaluable for extending my artistic knowledge and the Art/Coffee/Chat sessions on Thursday have kept me sane! Thanks to all my fellow travelers on the artistic journey, but, most of all, thanks to Katrina whose knowledge and encouragement have underpinned all of these delights.'
