To accompany Craftschool, the summer exhibition at Newlyn Art Gallery, we are offering FREE one-hour taster classes led by regional makers, plus longer classes on selected Saturdays. The classes are relaxed and friendly, and aimed at absolute beginners (U12s must be accompanied by an adult). Though the one-hour classes are free with admission, a donation is requested for materials.
