Run from our base on Govan Road, these weekly art groups allow members to access ongoing support in their community. All groups are free, led by an artist tutor, with no commitment to take part each week or for a set period of time.
Being part of this class is very important to me. The people who are at the classes are all going through some kind of challenge but when we are together in class we can forget our problems and just enjoy our time together, talking, laughing and doing an activity that we enjoy.
Groups last for two hours with a refreshment break. Groups follow a term structure, with breaks between terms every 8 to 10 weeks. Currently our groups run from Monday to Thursday. All materials and equipment provided free.
New members do not have to attend Step 1 of the programme if they are happy not to do so. They can join Step 2 provided they meet the referral criteria.
