WORDS AND PICTURES
If the artisan theme of this issue of The Transmitter makes you wish you hadn’t given up on your artistic bent all those years ago, there are three new classes in the area which may allow you to rekindle an old talent. Betty Frankenstien organises a friendly and informal life-drawing class which takes place on Monday nights upstairs at The Sparrowhawk (7-9pm). It’s not a tutored class and there’s no need to book. Each class costs £10. If you’re more of a 3D creative, Aliya Rashid of Clay and Company has just started monthly Saturday classes on the potter’s wheel. Groups are small (and is for over 16s only at the moment) and the session lasts three hours (either 10am-1pm or 2-5pm). Each lesson costs £50 which includes glazing and firing of up to three pots. The next classes will be on 5 April and 10 May and places must be booked in advance.

interested in a new writing bootcamp on Wednesday evenings (7-9pm) at the Phoenix Community Centre. No sit ups (promise) but a chance to iron out those kinks (no, not that kind) under the tutelage of English teacher Debbie Ryle and journalist Glanda Richards. They will provide writing exercises, constructive feedback and most importantly lots of encouragement. You’ll need to take along a fiver for each session and there’s tea and coffee. Expect guest speakers too. www.bettyfrankenstien.com @TheDrawing_Room www.facebook/pages/Crystal-Palace-Pottery or call 07976 290735 @CP_Pottery dbbryle@gmail.com (or just turn up!)
