FROME Community Education has just launched its range of Spring term courses live online with a new brochure being distributed across Frome in the next few days.
Six new tutors have joined the Frome Comm Ed programme with 16 brand new courses now on offer.
As a result of student feedback, Frome Comm Ed have dramatically in- creased their range of art and craft courses. Students can now choose from a ‘10-week Art Course’ teaching the ba- sics across a variety of media, whilst another course encourages you to ‘Dive into Watercolours’.
There is also ‘Printmaking Without a Press’, as well as the opportunity to ‘Get Creative with Collage Art’.
These new classes all run alongside existing courses for wood engraving, and drawing and painting.
For those with a more philosophical turn of mind, there is a new, fascinating workshop ‘Money: A Global History’ , the chance to discover your own personal cultural profile with ‘Intercultural Communication’ and ‘From Seed to Fork: The Deep History of Food’. There is also a new range of literary adventures with ‘Nature Writing for Beginners’, ‘Robert Frost: A life in Poetry’, ‘Reading and Writing Poetry’, and, for something completely different, ‘Dreaming Ourselves Awake’ teaching you to remember and value your dreams as a source of creative inspiration. Programme manager Pia McGee says, “If you are stuck for Christmas gift ideas, look no further than a course with Frome Comm Ed for that hard to buy for person in your life. There are a range of courses to suit all interests and bud- gets with classes ranging from one day workshops from £35, 5 week and 10-week courses.”
With over 40 courses in total for the Spring term (spanning languages, history, culture, art, craft, health and wellbeing) there really is something for everyone.
To find out more and to book, visit www.fromecommed.org.uk or the Box Office at the Cheese and Grain. Brochures will be available from the library, Black Swan Arts, Cheese & Grain and a variety of local shops and cafes.
![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
