Leisure Courses 2012
We’re pleased to announce the first in our Courses for 2012 has been confirmed! An Watercolour Course for those ranging in beginner ability through to intermediate, that will take place over the course of 8 weeks, every Saturday from 10:30am-1pm.
Our trainer for the course is Jim Kemp who is an occupational therapist instructor in Ipswich. He has been teaching in this capacity for the last 12 years and through this he has qualified as an art instructor. He has been teaching art in many mediums for the past 7 years. Prior to his teaching experience he has been an amateur painter for over 40 years specialising in watercolour landscapes. He has worked professionally with various well known artists in Suffolk.
Jim is very enthusiastic and especially likes teaching beginners; he almost always helps them see their potential even when they lack confidence.
