Hello from us all at Qube...
Welcome to our November newsletter!
It's all starting to look very festive at Qube as our Christmas Arts and Crafts fair is now on display! Support local artists and makers this year by picking up some truly beautiful gifts, ranging from glassworks, oil paintings and photography to illustrations, sculptures or paper mache animals made from old bank statements! All have been made by independent artists and makers.
We've had new additions to our team over the past couple of months, with plenty more starting in November! We're still on the lookout for a Finance Officer and a Social Prescribing Triage Officer to join us. Would you like to support your community and make a difference to Oswestry and surrounding areas? Find out more online here and give us a call or email for more information.
We have a number of courses coming up soon, including our origami session with Paul Kielty, our expressive painting and landscape workshops with David Bannister, and afternoon PaintAble sessions with Joseph Schneider. Keep an eye on our Courses page to stay updated on when these workshops go live.
