Have a butchers at out new courses

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.

Thumb_comp

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/

Selwyn wins Abruzzo painting comp!

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:
