Tutor talks - Andy Gray, Ben Searle, and Dan Bendel

Spend an evening getting to know our tutors! This series of talks will allow you to ask questions about the courses and workshops they run, and get to know what make our tutors tick. 

Andy Gray is passionate about observational drawing and painting. Previously teaching drawing at UWE and the City of Bristol College he now works with a variety of clients on both corporate and private commissions and educational projects.

Ben Searle has played and taught Ukulele for twenty years. He wants to share how amazing it is for everyone. He has seen people become more self confident with themselves through learning to play this wonderful instrument. 

Dan Bendel is an Artist working with different materials including wood, paint and ink. He teaches woodcarving at the Folk House and is currently undergoing some research and development looking into wellbeing and creativity with a DYCP grant from the Arts Council.

This will be happening in the Folk House cafe where you can come and have a cup of tea and cake whilst you listen to and chat with our tutors. 

FYI:

We have noticed an increasing number of scams / fake tickets for our events recently (especially purchased from social media). We do our best to monitor our social media pages and delete posts from scam ticket sellers, but some still manage to slip the net as we are a small team and do not have the capacity to constantly monitor all of our event pages on social media.

We never accept tickets purchased from unofficial ticket agents or social media platforms.

If an event is sold out – we can refund ticket holders wanting to return tickets provided we have a guaranteed buyer on the waiting list and it is before Friday 12pm on the weekend of the event. Therefore there is never a need to buy from anywhere except for official ticket selling sites (our website, Headfirst, Seetickets. Ticketsellers, Skiddle, Eventbrite or any site that is linked on our website for the event). If in doubt, please contact us before making any purchases.

To avoid disappointment - never buy from an unofficial ticket agent / seller!
