I write on behalf of Blackhill Art Group in the Community Centre Blackhill, Derwent St., Blackhill, Consett, Co. Durham. We would appreciate a workshop, similar to the one you did in Lanchester, for a group of about 18 artists, keen to learn. We meet on Wednesday mornings. Would you be available and willing to pass on your learning techniques to us?
