Patricia said: Tuesday's inaugural Art Hive was a great initiative and an enjoyable experience. Fiona was a very encouraging and warm tutor and clearly talked about what the Hive is aiming to offer. Sadly I can't attend on a Thursday which is when the next stage is being offered. The range of materials and opportunity to become totally absorbed in the self directed art making, given the short time was really fantastic. Thank you. More initiatives like this please.
