MORE CREATIVE WRITING!
Last night’s Creative Writing Class was wonderful, thanks to those who came. “Class A” who plan to meet every other Thursday, is at capacity, so due to the level of interest from others since reaching our limit, we are considering meeting this demand by running another course on Wednesdays for “Class B”!

If you are interested in attending Wednesday classes on a fortnightly basis, please can you comment below this post, and Katy our facilitator will contact you directly to discuss.

Places are strictly limited, booking is confirmed upon receipt of payment, and we unfortunately can’t hold places for people.

We are excited to meet more storytellers, poets, ranters and writers at Art On The Edge!
