New event. We’re pleased to welcome a new regular club to the hall from September; come and book onto local collage artist Vanessa Stone’s new Collage and Papercutting Club that will be running on the last Thursday of the month at Coddington Village Hall. The club is for 18+ only and will be a fantastic place to learn all sorts of collage and paper cutting techniques that Vanessa has learnt being a professional collage artist for many years. Through demonstrations and gentle guidance, Vanessa will help you make your own beautiful art using really simple materials such as paper, scissors and glue.
Tickets are £15 each and include a hot drink, biscuits and all the materials you will need. The first club meeting will be on September 26th from 7pm to 9pm. Please contact Vanessa on www.vanessastoneartist.com to find out more and ways to book. Booking essential.
