2010-2011 Art Classes in Lady Bay, West Bridgford

[Fran Tristram]

Hi All

Here below you will find the programme for our weekly and one day classes in the September term - I do hope that you will find a class that takes your fancy.  Do remember that our class sizes are small (max 8 students in any class) so please book your places as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.  You will find our full programme for September 2010 - July 2011 in the attachment.

We are very excited to tell you that we have had a complete refit of the pottery workshop!  A huge thank you to all my potters in previous terms for your good-natured enjoyment of the wobbly tables crammed into my cramped old workshop arrangements - you will find it a much more practical working space from September with the whole group having good solid workspace in a single room at last, and, I'm happy to say, with the wheel now available for use in the kiln room ... but I'm afraid we potters will still have to wrap up warm for class in Winter!!

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like more information or to book a place - we will get back to you as soon as possible, but please bear with us if we don't reply immediately as we are away from time to time over the summer break.

Many thanks for your interest in our art activities - if you no longer wish to receive information about what we're up to, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will remove your contact details from the list.  

Meanwhile we would be most grateful if you would pass this information on to anyone you know who you think would be interested in our classes and may not be on our list.  Thank you

We hope to hear from you soon 

Very best wishes

Fran and Rod
