Early Fall at the Arts Lab

The Early Fall session at the County Arts Lab is now open for registration, with some exciting new courses and a few returning favourites! There are courses in painting, drawing, writing, photography and so much more, whether you are a beginner or a pro these courses and workshops will be fun, informative and will get your creative juices flowing!

Julie Seddon is returning to teach Colour as a form of Expression, a 6-week course on Wednesday afternoons for anyone looking to learn more about colour theory through art history, exercises and studies. Zac Kenny‘s 5-week Abstract Painting for Beginners course on Thursday evenings is now SOLD OUT, however, there is a waitlist.

Irene Götz also returns with her incredible Drawing for Absolute Beginners Course for 5-weeks on Tuesday evenings. Tom Feiler will be leading a 6-week course, Intro to Portrait Photography, and Jeremy Smith will lead a Wee Course on Short Plays for 6-weeks on Tuesday mornings.
