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/
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!

And here’s his winning painting:

We constantly update Club Frui with lots of fun bits and bobs so make sure you check in regularly to see what’s on.
