Overview: This structured, five-week mixed media course offers adults the opportunity to develop creative skills while supporting personal wellbeing in a welcoming learning environment. Suitable for learners of all abilities, the course provides a balanced introduction to a range of artistic techniques and materials, alongside approaches that encourage mindful engagement and self-expression.
Participants will explore a variety of media, including acrylics, watercolour, pencil, crayons, and ink, combined with mixed media methods such as layering, texture creation, collage, and expressive mark-making. Each session will include tutor-led demonstrations, clear guidance, and supported studio time for individual practice and development.
By the end of the five weeks, learners will have produced a portfolio of original work, gained experience across a range of media, and developed practical skills and creative strategies that can be continued beyond the classroom.
Course level and content: This is a beginners course.

ENGAGING WITH YOUR PERSONAL LEARNING RECORD (PLR) PAPERWORK
All community learning courses require learners to engage with Personal Learning Record (PLR) paperwork. At the beginning of the course, you will be supported in setting personal learning aims, which will guide your development over the duration of the programme. Your tutor will assess your progress at key points—at the start, mid-point, and conclusion of the course—providing written feedback to help document your learning and achievements.
