Where are the classes?

Creative Way painting classes are taught at Sherwood Uniting Church in Brisbane. There are also workshops offered at South Maclean, Brisbane, at our home studio on 5 acres of bush. Other special workshops will be held at other specified venues around Brisbane, Logan and the Scenic Rim. 

What should I wear? 

It's best to wear an apron, and clothes you don't mind getting paint on (just in case). Closed shoes are also a good idea.

I haven't done art for years; is this the right class for me?

EFTPOS in class, or online bank transfer.
