Gateshead Council learningSkills Course - Next Term (in Bensham Grove):
Due to the strike we missed our final session. Still now we are all looking forward to a summer of R&R then back to it in September with a new set of painting projects including PERSONAL COLOUR - an exploration of what colour means to each of us, how to find and use our own unique personal colours in our pastel paintings.

Next term we will have one week extra to replace the one lost in July. So when you see the date in the prospectus for September, we start the week before that. More on that nearer the start of the new term.

Photos from iPads

Apologies to those who asked for their iPad photos to be added to this site before next weeks lesson. Unfortunately this has not been possible. Hope this has not caused too much frustration.

Don't forget to do a sun dance so we get lovely weather on Thursday! If we do make sure you are protected against sunburn. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a hat - and in case it feels chilly whilst you are working outside, bring a warm top.
