Making art is a wonderful way to express ourselves. It’s mindful too which is great for our mental wellbeing. The Virtual Village Hall artists and art tutors want you to have fun experimenting. It’s not about creating a masterpiece; it’s about trying something new. Here you’ll find sketching, drawing, painting and printmaking sessions to try. Why not pick up a pencil, pen or paintbrush today and see where it takes you?
