From street photography to mastering your compact camera to learning how to ‘look’ to drawing at London Zoo, we’ve got a whole new range of fun, unique and informative one day and half day courses.

Our courses are designed to get you up to speed and inspired with whatever creative discipline you are interested in pursuing. We strongly believe that a course should not just teach you ‘the basics’, but should also inspire you to get out there afterwards and continue being creative.

Book one for yourself or book one for a friend… There’s a course for everyone! Find out more at http://www.frui.co.uk/frui_courses/

Our friend, none other than Mr Ed Veasey, has only gone and launched his own photography website for London photographers. It’s got exhibition news, competitions and events. Check it out at www.photographylondongroup.com

Well done to our very own painting tutor Selwyn, who last week scooped the 500 Euro first prize in a regional painting competition in Italy!

Here he is (second from left) holding his winning cheque with some of our Italian friends at Hotel Cape. The reason they look so drunk is because they are drunk. Very, very drunk, for that matter. And why not…

And here’s his winning painting:

Here’s a slightly wonky group shot of the the gang on our last painting and photography holiday in Abruzzo!

Henry here… I’ve just been sampling the very best local pubs, guest houses, restaurants and scenery in County Kerry to make sure that everything is top notch for our all new landscape photography weekend break.

I didn’t take my camera on purpose, as I knew I’d get distracted, but I did have my trusty Blackberry. Here’s one I took at the top of the Conor Pass on Dingle. Go, on. Knock me down a peg or two and critique my shot…

These little projects are just a selection of some of the cracking shots that guests took on on our last trip to Istanbul.

In keeping with the cities many contrasts, such as East meeting West and the old and the new, these projects pair two images together to create a new meaning. Arty, eh…?

A little while ago we asked some of our tutors for a few pointers on how to live a more creative life. We got some fantastically inciteful responces (well these are Frui tutors after all!)

Here are some of their best thoughts compiled into a little PDF for you to mull over. (It’s worth noting that while we wholeheartedly agree with Selwyn’s first responce – “Drink as much wine as possible and eat out at least 5 nights a week”, we thought his second offering was maybe a little bit more helpful…)
