On Saturday 6th March we are ‘Drawing Poems’ in our Online Session, inspired by the work of Peter Blake and his 20+ years art project of recreating the characters of Dylan Thomas’s ‘Under Milk Wood’.
To find out more about his project go to the National Museum of Wales website.
Look forward to seeing you!

We are back with our online sessions, we’ve had an extended break and missed you all! Hope you have been keeping safe and well?
