New Online Workshops from QPAC

We're delighted to be launching a brand new programme of online workshops, giving artists and makers a brilliant opportunity to join Queens Park Arts Centre's creative community. www.tinyurl.com/qpac-online-classes Alongside the workshops we'll also be offering a click-&-collect service for resources needed in some of the classes. This will be run from the Centre's carpark and will operate under social distancing guidelines. For more information - and to book a workshop - visit www.tinyurl.com/qpac-online-classes , where you'll find full listings with Terms & Conditions for both the workshops and the Click & Collect service. #LiveCreativelyQPAC
