Next Weekend On-Site Painting Courses will start on Sunday 13th September

Due to the popularity of our painting courses, we are pleased to let you know that Guanghwa Bookshop has organised two more weekend on-site painting courses which will start on Sunday 13th September.

 

Please note: these are TWO DIFFERENT courses. One runs in the morning. One runs in the afternoon. You may enrol in either course independently, and each six-week course is charged separately.

 

Both these courses will run every Sunday for six weeks, the venue is at the bookshop, and we will provide the materials.

 

Course Fee Options:

Full six-week course: £96

Flexible option: £18 per session

Please note: the flexible option is for those who cannot commit to all six sessions. You will still need to book the dates and pay in advance to secure your place for the sessions you wish to attend. Drop-ins on the day are not available.
