JEWELLERY and dressmaking classes are among those on offer at Newton Community Centre, Park Road South.

Beaded jewellery making sessions take place on Mondays between 6.30 and 8.30pm. Beginners and more experienced jewellery makers are invited along.

An evening dress making class, which will run on Tuesdays, is also due to start shortly. If you are interested in attending please ring the centre on 01925 224731.

Also due to public demand an extra watercolour workshop is being held on Tuesdays from 10am until noon. This begins on February 4 and is open to novices or those wanting to improve their techniques.

One-to-one-tuition, tutor demonstrations and confidence building exercises will be available to help artists to create satisfying work in a relaxed, friendly and supportive atmosphere.

The course will be delivered within a landscape theme. Places are limited so please contact the centre with your details.
