AN art group is to restart its activities after a pause of nearly three years.

Simply Art, which is held at Copford Hall on Thursdays from 2pm until 4pm, stopped when Covid-19 caused two national lockdowns.

Alison Livingstone, who runs the group, has started it up again in the hope of welcoming back members old and new.

The sessions alternate between self-directed sessions and taught sessions by tutors who are members of Colchester Art Society, and involve different techniques including drawing, watercolours and acrylics.

Anybody interested in joining should contact Mrs Livingstone on 07914 476510.
