A professional textile artist who believes art lessons are being 'stripped' from the classroom in schools is opening a cafe club for children and adults. Mother-of-four Angela Lock, 50, argues some schools only teach 'box ticking' art lessons rather than more 'creative projects'.
Now she's aiming to teach all forms of art to inspire young and old alike at a new art cafe. Art Club is set to open on Shaw Road, Heaton Moor, Stockport, next month.
Angela, from Heaton Moor, said: "My shop will be a place where people can connect, where artists can show their work and where we can facilitate creativity. Tapping into the imagination and being creative can be extremely therapeutic – it builds resilience, promotes problem solving skills and boosts good mental health."
