TIME TO START LEARNING AT DRUMMOND

Submitted by Editor on

After what’s been a lovely summer, adult education classes at Drummond CHS start again on Monday 22 September 2014, writes Birgit Harris (Community Programme Manager).

You will be spoilt for choice.

Our programme  – which runs until 5 December – contains highly popular classes like Art Club, Calligraphy, Dressmaking, Introduction to Artists’ Bookbinding, Printmaking with a Press, Hatha and Iyengar Yoga plus many more.

New classes are:

  • Crochet (mixed levels)
  • Drawing & Painting
  • Dressmaking (make a jacket or pair of trousers with perfect fit and finish)
  • Dollmaking (textile art)
  • Hand Embroidery from Historical Sources (Elizabethan raised embroidery/stump work and gold work)
  • Introduction to Mosaic Making
  • Sewing Basics with Creative Craft Projects
  • Latin for Beginners plus Culture and History
  • Printmaking with a Press (daytime)
  • Tapas Cookery (in Spanish)
  • Textile Trimmings and Tricks (collars, cuffs, buttons)
  • Walk with Confidence the Catwalk Way
  • Zumba (on Tuesdays).

All our language classes – French, German, Italian and Spanish – are taught by native speakers in a fun way, and you now also have the chance to learn how to cook Tapas in Spanish.

All our adult tutors teach in an enabling way, with you the learner at the centre in a very relaxed atmosphere, often with refreshment breaks.

If a ten-week course is too long for you, then why not try a weekend class on Saturday 15November from 9.30am–2.45pm at the bargain price of £20 (or £10 concession):

  • Big Band Voices and Horns
  • Bookbinding (leather journals with decorative sewings)
  • Casting Silver (using cuttlefish)
  • Enamelling
  • Experimental Printmaking
  • Large-scale Artwork from the Human Figure
  • Revive and Revamp a Hat or Make a Fascinator.

For more information or telephone enrolments please contact the Community Education Team on Tel. 556 2651. You can also enrol online here for all our classes. What are you waiting for?

@theSpurtle @Drummond_CHS Tempted by Walk with Confidence the Catwalk Way. I'd utilise the promised 'Beyoncé swagger' on Great King Street.

@NewTownFlaneur @Drummond_CHS I fancy learning only tapas-related Spanish. Useful & would massively reduce time required to read Don Quixote

@theSpurtle @NewTownFlaneur @Drummond_CHS Elizabethan raised embroidery is the avant garde for New Town parlours.
