ABOUT ART IN MIND

Welcome to Art In Mind.
Art In Mind is a series of creative arts courses to be held throughout the year at various museums, galleries and libraries in Suffolk.

The courses are for anyone who would like to gain confidence through making art and who prefer to learn within a small, supportive group of people.

All levels of experience are welcome, it is more important to have an open mind and a curiosity for learning.

We will meet on Tuesdays 1.30 to 4.00pm. The first course begins on 27th September and finishes on 22nd November 2011. There will be a half term break 25th October. There will be more courses throughout the year and in other towns in Suffolk.

The first course will be held in the enriching environment of Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich. We will be loooking at the rich and diverse collections within the Mansion to inspire our own work. We will be working towards producing individual pieces of artwork that reflect our time in the Mansion. This might be a series of photographs, drawings, a sketchbook, a painting, a textile piece: anything might be possible.

The first session will be an introduction to the Mansion and its collections, a practical session making a notebook/sketchbook to use during the course and there will be time to spend in the galleries drawing or writing.

Places are limited so please book early. For more information watch this space and feel free to post a comment or alternatively e-mail Juliet on
