 A very happy 2019 to you all

Well the tree has been taken down and the decorations packed away in their boxes for another year. All sheets washed and beds remade and despite having been ill for most of the festive season.....urghh.... I do enjoy having family around. We had 11 on and off over 12 days and I could hear the laughter downstairs while being tucked up in bed upstairs. But all is well now and Martin is also nearly fully recovered.......yes, it got us both!!!

So with that behind us we now need to look forwards and I am sure many of you are now thinking what you will be doing in 2019. I hope your New Years resolutions included doing all things creative!!!! If so look no further and see what you still could be doing next year at Moor Hall.

Matthew is another inspirational and amazing tutor who brings a uniqueness to his teaching.  He will will exploring the idea of  'continuity and change' through drawing, collage and stitch.
