Our programme of events for the Summer and Autumn is now in place. We hope there is something to tempt you. Pastel Drawings with Mags – Mags, a member of Shotley WI, told the story in WI Life of how doing a pastels drawing class for ”a bit of a laugh” has changed her life. Join her at Cresswell House for a class or classes and maybe it could change your life as well! The theme for the sessions is “Seasonal Mice”.
These are: Harvest 1, Halloween, Harvest 2 and lastly Christmas. Mags guarantees that at the end of all sessions you will have a drawing you will be proud of.
