A COMMUNITY venue has announced the first two classes in its new Creative Learning programme.

The Coro, in Ulverston, will offer short courses run by skilled local craftspeople.

The first two classes are in bag making and abstract art.

Take your sewing skills to a new level under the expert guidance of seamstress Julie Spinks (Ju Ju Creations). Learn a host of new sewing techniques and take home your own handmade retreat wash bag.

Join abstract artist Jess Levine to explore a wide variety of artistic media and techniques, from geli plate printing to acrylic painting, creating your very own body of artistic work as you go.

Both six-week courses start later this month and spaces are limited.
