The groups meet on a Thursday at The Old School, Fairfield Street, Warrington WA1 3AJ. There is a large car park and the centre is on various bus routes along Manchester Road. There is also a cafe for coffee, tea and snacks.
Our year runs from September to June. Each group normally meets twice a month, with a workshop held when there is a fifth Thursday in the month. We also hold an exhibition at the end of the year for everyone to visit.

You will need to fill in an Art for All Enrolment Form. It is quite important that you give a correct email address and telephone number so that you can be contacted with notes for the sessions.
You may choose to be in two groups but must be free to attend regularly. If the group is full then you can be put onto a waiting list.
Members who miss three or more meetings without good reason may lose their place to a person on the waiting list.
