Artist aims to inspire with Barnard Castle classes

PEOPLE wanting to be more creative can sign up to new art and craft classes.
Teesdale artist Jane Young, who already presents successful art classes at Whorlton and Staindrop, is adding a class at The Witham, in Barnard Castle, to her busy schedule.
The aim is to present classes in whatever people want. She said: “It can be anything anybody wants to do. I like to try to find out what people are interested in.”
Along with painting and drawing in various media, including watercolour, oil, acrylic, soft pastel, oil pastel, pen, pencil and Biro sketching, budding artists and craftspeople can look forward to learning about glass painting, print making, needlework, felting, wire sculpture and jewellery and batik.
Seasonal creations will also be offered when the time is right.
Ms Young said she is keen for students to create and develop their own style.
As with Ms Young’s other classes, students will be given the opportunity to display their work during an annual exhibition.
The class is on Fridays, from 10am to noon. For details, contact The Witham on 01833 631107.
