SLLC’s Culture department offer a wide range of “art” activities to the local community which includes painting and drawing, ceramics, stained glass, dressmaking, traditional arts and crafts, guitar, drumming and much more.

All our tutors are talented artists and committed to inspiring participants of all ages and abilities in their creative work by passing on their expert knowledge and techniques to participants whilst building up their confidence to express themselves in whatever way they wish.

This exhibition showcases the wealth of talent that we are lucky to have within our family of “tutors”.
