*****************************************************************
This group meets up on a weekly basis at The Sands Centre, Carlisle, as part of Carlisle Leisure's Fab and Fifty activity scheme for over 50's. The scheme also includes other activities such as salsa dancing and cookery demonstrations as well as other fitness activities.
Designed and delivered by artist, Pui Lee, this workshop is open to anyone, whether participants want to learn to draw for the first time or they just want to have some fun and improve existing skills. Beginners are always welcome and it is suitable for all ability levels.
The sessions varies each week and it gives the participants an opportunity to: creatively express themselves, try out different materials, learn about famous artists and their work, acquire useful drawing techniques, improve observational skills and make new friends! The workshops aim to build confidence, develop open minds and encourage creative problem solving skills. Pui Lee says, "It's all about empowering people through creativity, creating opportunity for creativity and growth. Drawing is freedom."

Some famous words about creativity:
"Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. [It] gives hopes that there can be a worthwhile idea. [It] gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. [It] makes life more fun and interesting." - Edward de Bono
"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams
"Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts." Rita Mae Brown
