A short course teaching English as a second language through art will be launched at Estuary Arts Centre in Term 3.
The course will essentially cover traditional drawing techniques, but it will be delivered in both Mandarin and English. The tutor will be Jessica Li.
Centre education coordinator Rosie Hutchinson says the centre is keen to break the language barrier so that people are able to take the many courses and workshops on offer.
Estuary Arts runs various after school and holiday programmes for children, 23 adult courses, and half day, full day and weekend workshops.
