The Folk House Creative Arts courses for the Spring term open now!

The Bristol Folk House on Park Street runs a huge number of creative arts courses: Arts and Crafts, Pottery, Writing, Languages, Music, Dance, Drama, Fitness and Personal Development.

The Folk House is an education centre tucked away on Park Street- pretty much opposite Boston Tea Party there's a little alleyway that leads to a cute little courtyard. This is the Folk House, home to all these great art courses and also hosts live music events and art exhibitions in their café-bar.

Their courses are now open for enrolment for the Spring term, starting in January. I would highly recommend signing up for one-even the choices just under 'art' are endless and all equally tempting- Cartoon Making, Illustration and Print-making to name a few.

I signed up for Digital Illustration to get to know the computer programmes that graphic designers used a little better. It's a six week course and not too pricey at all.

New Screen Printing workshop in Easton

Rolfe and Wills began printing a year and a half ago, creating colourful and original prints for all sorts of things- homeware, clothes, furniture. With their quirky little designs, these prints are great for cosy English homes and great gifts. Maybe you've seen some of their work in BS8 on Park Street? The rainbow zebra cushions definitely stick in my mind!

As that the business is going so well, Rolfe and Wills have found themselves a new space- an old garage in Easton that they have renovated into a shiny new studio, with a massive 900 square feet to use.

Now that this studio is all set up, Rolfe and Wills will be offering workshops before Christmas to give everyone a chance to do their own screen printing onto things like T-shirts, totes, cushions and tea-towels etc. Sounds like good fun and useful for Christmas presents!

We'll let you know when Rolfe and Wills have some dates for these workshops so watch this space.
