Hi All, 

 

‘Experimenting with Drawing’ will return to The Thomas Calton Centre in Peckham (just off Rye Lane) from next week! There is one class each week, and two options to take the course this term - either on Mondays 12-3pm or Wednesdays 6-9pm. 

Here is a link to enrol: 

https://www.southwark.gov.uk/schools-and-education/adult-learning-0/creative-skills/art/art-timetable

Please do share it if you know anyone who might be interested! 

Both versions of the course run for 10 weeks, from the 22nd and 24th of September until the 1st and 3rd of December (11 weeks including one week of half term break). 

Everyone is welcome; there is no prerequisite to have experience with art or drawing!

The course is aimed at those who are looking to dedicate time each week to working creatively, with peer and tutor support, and classes structured to try something new each week! Each class is made up of a 30 minute art history lecture, and then working in response to one or two exercises/ briefs, connected to the theme of the lecture. All materials are provided. 

 

We will look at subjects such as: 

 

Line

Collage

Drawing and Bookmaking 

Ink 

Drawing and text 

Rethinking the still life 

Action drawing and manifestos

Pattern 

Conceptual approaches to drawing

 

With a focus on visual, material and idea based perspectives on drawing, we will experiment in a friendly and thoughtful creative environment, and seek to overcome the fear of getting things ‘wrong’. 

 

Any questions, please email: [email protected]

 

Or contact the reception team at the Thomas Calton Centre on: 02073582100

 

The concessionary rate is available to those on universal credit.

    • I would ask a solicitor. You may be able to claim compensation. You can speak to Lease free for 15 minutes ( very worthwhile), and a no win no fee Sol.
    • I am no expert by any means, but I wonder first if Foxtons belong to any kind of professional (I use the term loosely) body you could complain to, and second, if you have any grounds to take them to the small claims court. I am surprised and sorry that none of the people you have asked for help could actually help. To be fair, though, re the oven, they have offered to reimburse you for an air fryer, it is the weekend so probably difficult to get someone out to look at it,  and they seem to be addressing that problem at least pretty promptly? Do you have a grill and hob and kettle working OK? Also, is it not the owner's responsibility to address issues such as the mould and the bath?  Shouldn't Foxtons be liaising with them about this?  Oh, and this is not intended to be a joke - try asking ChatGPT (or similar) what you can do. It saves hours of googling  stuff online yourself.
    • Agreed! I have been happy with them for the last 20 years.
    • Hi,   I'm posting here because I am completely at a loss for how to deal with this anymore.   Is this standard for dealing with a letting agency? I'm new to living in the UK and I've been treated abhorrently by this agency from day one.  I've reached out to every organisation I can - the council, Shelter, trying to get to the property ombudsman, and the citizens advice bureau. My oven broke last night (Friday) and their solution until someone arrives (Monday) to even inspect the problem, is to buy an air fryer.    This is part of a long list of issues, including my bathtub joist that's rotted out and has broke so my bathtub is now falling into the floor, and has been that way waiting for repair for the last month. Our flat is extremely cold in the winter (due to failing the EPC) and the rising damp throughout the flat has not been addressed even though we've been reporting it consistently for the past year. All they do is send someone to install a dehumidifier for a week. Every time I need assistance from these people I have to wait on hold each step of the way, my property manager is out of office or they're on another line or I can't speak to them, if I begin an issue with one person at the organisation I get redirected to a new person (and that initial person is now unavailable), or they wait a week to call me back. It is truly unbelievable the amount of stuff I've had to live with under Foxtons. They wouldn't allow me to move into our property on the first day stated in the lease I signed (after I paid depot and first month) because they didn't do the work to make the property pass the EPC which they had multiple weeks to address. During those multiple weeks I would call them everyday asking for status updates. When the move in day arrived all they could say to me was 'we can't help you'. They didn't even do any work to resolve it in the long run, they just got a new inspector to give the flat a pass. This company has made my life hell for the past year and unfortunately I am stuck in the lease for now due to their shady letting agent practices.   If anyone can please provide me some tangible assistance that would be greatly appreciated. Reaching out to any of these agencies has not brought me any closer to a resolution and my partner and I are beyond our wits end dealing with property issues. I thought a letting agency was held to a higher standard than a private landlord and was supposed to make life easier for a tenant but it appears to be exactly the opposite.   I've attached some mold images so you can see what my flat looks like if I don't run a dehumidifier 24/7.
