Happy Friday one and all and welcome back to A Rural Review. With February drawing swiftly to a close and March just around the corner (it feels like Christmas was only yesterday doesn't it? Where does the time go...) it feels as though springtime is on the horizon. Still, here at Rural Arts we don't need to wait for Spring as we already have it in our step; we have had a fantastic week and with next week shaping up to be even better, theres lots to catch you up on! Without further ado, let's talk about..

What's been happening
A Taste Of... Sessions Another week and another fantastic session with our adults art club. If you were not aware, in 2015 we launched 'A Taste Of...' a weekly art session where each week a new art form is explored - giving all the participants a chance to experiment with a variety of different skills and styles in a relaxed, friendly environment. Fair to say it has proven to be pretty popular and is still going strong today - this week our …

Hello one and all and welcome back to 'A Rural Review.'

It's that time of the week again! Welcome back to 'A Rural Review' - the blog series where we recap all the happenings in the Rural Arts world this week and what you should look out for in the near future. With Valentines looming, this week is either a fantastic opportunity to shower that special person in your life with presents galore and your eternal, everlasting love, or an equally fantastic opportunity to moan about the day only being a marketing ploy from co-orporations so they can sell more cards, flowers and teddy bears at extortionate prices.  Whichever camp you fall into, our suggestion is to head on down to our gallery which stocks beautiful hand made cards from local artists at reasonable prices - it means that your loved one can know how much you appreciate them without compromising your morals and giving moonpig some extra cash. Now we have got the first plug of the blog out of the way (phew!) lets begin shall we?
