At Globe Arts Education in Golcar you can chose from a range of courses from a Fused Glass to Drawing and Painting or Life Drawing.  Or join artist Natalia Dolgova in Holmfirth for a new term of Drawing Classes which cover the basics of drawing, composition, perspective and colour in a friendly, small group environment. Create Space, run by Support to Recovery in the Packhorse Centre in Huddersfield, is running a free Eco Bookbinding Course, a Creative Drawing course and an Expressive Watercolour Workshop – and that’s just this month! Click on their profile and My Events (view all) to see all the courses and workshop they have planned over the next few months. For the kids the Huddersfield Art Gallery has its monthly Saturday Art Club on Sat 26 September; the Creative Arts Hub Advanced Arts Class continues for those aged 10 and upwards and for children over 4 the Junior Art Club at Globe Arts Education starts again on 12th September. If you prefer to do a one-off workshop you can chose Greenfusions’ Learn to Crochet & Hunky Chunky Hook workshops; Melanie Wilks Stone Carving workshop or Ruth Gilbert’s Spinning and Weaving workshop days to get you started. In the events section below we've picked out a few of these course and workshops as well as some of the other events going on this week.
