PARENTS in Parr are being invited to develop their creative skills at a series of arts taster sessions being organised by the Sure Start Team.

They will be able to enjoy pottery, glass painting, drawing, interior design, DIY, photography and local history classes which will be offered under the new Community Arts Project.

Workshops will be free to parents living in the Sure Start area of Parr, which covers Ashtons Green, Cement City, Cherry Tree Drive and Derbyshire Hill.

The project was developed after parents, who attended the arts activities during the launch of Sure Start last November, said they wanted to put their artistic abilities to use. Anyone interested contact Ann Foster at Sure Start on 01744 614340.
