'Letter Head'! fun little pun😉
Our after-school class today made a head, with letters! to go into this week's 'We Read' exhibition 😍

We love displaying works from our youth classes, their excitement being included in a show is precious. Our teen class will have 'Comic Book Cover' works on show, and work from both or kids classes 🙌 These 'Letter Heads' are priceless!

Come check out our talented youth alongside local artists in this multidisciplinary show of text and art!
