Professional textile artist, Helen Walsh, will be on hand to offer guidance and to advise on how best to tackle projects on a beginner level.

• Art Group

  Wednesday 18 November · 10:15 – 12:00

  Tullie - Museum & Gallery, Carlisle

  Tullie Art Group is our accessible, laid-back, free to attend art group that meets on the third Wednesday of every month. We welcome people aged 18 or over of all abilities and support workers are welcome to join in too! It’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded people in a relaxed setting under the guidance of our friendly community team. Each session has either a guest artist or theme, and we encourage you to come along and try something new. We provide materials, but please bring your own if you need something specific. We recommend arriving from 10am for the morning sessions and 1pm for the afternoon session so there’s plenty of time to grab a cuppa and settle in. (please note, the afternoon session is a repeat of the morning session). Tullie Art Group is incredibly popular, so booking is essential. Sessions are bookable on a month-by-month basis. If you have any trouble booking online, call our main reception on 01228 618718, they’ll be happy to book a place for you if there are any remaining. If not, leave your details and you will be added to the waiting list. If you require more information, please email community@tullie.org.uk
