“Can’t recommend them highly enough! I’m no ‘spring chicken’ so haven’t done anything artistic or creative since school – and like of people I thought I couldn’t ‘do art’, thried the fine art mixed media course and absolutely loved it – and got addicted! their ‘taster sessions’ are so enjoyable – have tried quite a few. The quality of the tuition is incredible – and all the classes are such amazing value for money. It is so therapeutic too. Every community should have NONaffArt! Totally amazing!”

“I embarked on a fine art mixed media course, after being persuaded by my friend. To say it was amazing is an understatement. Tania is a first rate class teacher and brought out the creativity in every one of us in the class. We were all doing the same course but we ended up with very individual, different results. No matter what stress I had in the day, it would melt away in the beautiful two-hours spent sticking, cutting, painting, printing. You name it, we did it!
We also had different help from other lecturers in their specialised fields. Thank you all so much.You have sparked something inside me I thought was lost!
I would highly recommend these courses to everyone.“

“Amazing class and you really are the beating heart of our community, it was only in September that I discovered what you offered to us but what an experience.It was by chance that I saw your art classes advertised locally and only recently can I fully appreciate what you have offered to our communities. I didn’t realise how lonely I was and how important it was to be included in NONaffArt.
I cannot even begin to thank you let alone the positive impact you have made in my life. Art and creativity is so important especially when our communities need it so much to be included and share what we can with each other. much love and respect.“

“I’ve really enjoyed the Friday Fine Art, something to look forward to each week. For me it’s invaluable time for quiet focus on art away from my busy home life and I’ve suprised myself with what I’ve achieved.””I’ve really enjoyed the Friday Fine Art, something to look forward to each week.
