Seemingly born with a paintbrush in hand, self-taught, internationally selling, local artist Laura Hol, brings her latest exhibition Living Life in Colour to Maidenhead.

When the UK is sometimes 50 shades of grey Hol’s use of colour is like a well needed vacation at home. Her vivid and optimistic contemporary landscapes, trees, architectural art and inspiring travel destinations offer a new take on the ordinary.

Look at how any place feels and it may be more colourful than you think…

Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.

If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.

If you've never played guitar you need to book on the Absolute Beginners course!

These classes are split by skills level;

Beginners A - Recently completed the Absolute Beginners course but still some way to go. Yet to tackle bar chords and complicated rhythms.

Beginners B - Well on the way and able to do bar chords

Beginners C - Almost Intermediate but not quite yet.
