Established in 2007, it is committed to creating a fun-filled and empowering dance environment that will connect you with people from all walks of life.

For all representational artwork, learning the basics of drawing is the best place to start. Graphite pencil is the basis for most drawing classes. Whether it is learning to draw realistically or in cartoon form, the focus is on accurate line work and shading.

Some classes expand to using coloured pencils, ink pen and other drawing materials. The advantage of attending live classes over self learning via the internet, is the student has an experienced artist able to give timely feedback on the students technique and can recommend how to improve with specific drawing exercises.

I am a local artist who paints in all mediums. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and have been teaching watercolour painting over the past few years. I teach both adults and children. Creativity is my pleasure and I see it as a priviledge to help others embark on their own creative journey.

We invite kids (age 8 and above) and adults to come along and try a training session at the dojo and give Universal Shotokan Karate a try. USKU emphasises a balanced development of speed, strength, and range of techniques.  

This group is for U3A members who enjoy making different book forms, using a range of methods, and a variety of papers and/or fabrics.

We encourage each other and share what we know. This is not a class, although some informal teaching can happen.
