Have A Dabble Adult Art and Craft Classes

Have a Dabble is an art group for adults run by artist and art teacher Julie Longbottom at Macclesfield Museums. Our classroom classes are currently suspended due to Covid-19 – so, we are bringing Have a Dabble to you!

Thanks to generous funding from the Cheshire Community Foundation and Cheshire East we have distributed boxes of art materials and activity idea packs for people to work on at home.

No special skills or experience is required to Have a Dabble, just an interest in experimenting with art and a willingness to have a go.

How can I get involved?

Digitally

New art activity ideas will be added here each week, we run fortnightly ‘Sketchbook sharing’ sessions on Zoom, and are developing an online gallery.

You can sign up for the weekly e-newsletter by emailing [email protected]

Art Pack Home Delivery

For those with limited access to materials or the internet we have produced art packs. Unfortunately we don’t currently have a budget for more boxes but we are seeking funding so that we can help more people get involved.

Have A Dabble at Home

Hello Dabblers, I hope you are all well and safe at this difficult time – I miss teaching and seeing you all at the Old Sunday School. But for now, here are some creative lessons for you to all try at home. Keep in touch, love, Julie.
