    The National Trust for Scotland’s Pollok House, only a few miles from Glasgow city centre, is offering visitors the chance to get arty at fortnightly art classes from the end of January.

    Whether you are a creative amateur or a fully-fledged artist there is something for everyone, with classes for adults and an Arty-Farty Club for the kids to have fun and learning something new.

    Pollok House boasts a magnificent art collection, including works by Blake, Goya and El Greco, so there are plenty of sources of artistic inspiration.

    Alison Burke, Learning Officer at Pollok House said:

    “The fortnightly adult classes are designed to inspire and cover a range of techniques from collective painting to the study of watercolour.

    "The Arty-Farty Club encourages kids to approach art in new and exciting ways while having fun.”

    The first adult class is on 30 January, 11.00 to 14.00 and costs £10 (including materials). The Arty-Farty Club starts on 1 February, 12.00 to 14.00 and costs £5 (including materials).

    For booking information and details of all the classes visit www.nts.org.uk or contact Pollok House on 0844 493 2202.
