Workshops for Adults
Whilst some classes take a break over Summer, there is still plenty on offer at Boom.
Les is back with both the weekly abstract Tuesday classes, and the longer monthly Saturday class - learn to let go and have fun with your art!
Heather connects to culture with the Celtic Wheel of the Year inspired crafts, while life drawing provides a session for all abilities, whether relaxation or technical practice.
Oonagh returns with adults art journalling, while Magdalena’s oil painting provides a relaxing guided session.
Gabriela’s jewellery classes are on a different date than usual - please see her booking page for details.
Although these classes are specifically for over 18s, some of our adult class facilitators may accept younger participants by arrangement, with an additional participating guardian, subject to availability and the suitability of the activity. Please get in touch with the facilitator to enquire.
