The Art Studio is based at the Level Best ArtCafe. While working in the Art studio you will have the opportunity to learn about and use a number of techniques such as printing, canvas painting, collage, textiles (e.g.knitting), mosaics, drawing, 3D construction (e.g. papier mache) and digital media.

We can work with you to turn your artwork into a greetings card or even have it as a design on a mug or cup. We sell our cards in the Café and in the local Visitor Information Centre. Have a look at some of the cards we’ve made previously...
