This is open to adults only and it is our 40th year. We are a non profit making organisation with charitable status, ( Reg Charity No 1069039). Because of this our overheads are low and we can offer courses at a much reduced rate, although the quality of what we offer is exceptionally high. The organisation is carried out by volunteers. All courses are taught by experienced tutors, artists in their own right. Go to www.spanglefish.com/gloucesterartsandcrafts for more details.
