John Wright Classes

Following the closure of the very successful Jimena de la Frontera art class that was held at the Sofia Centre in Estacion Jimena John and his artists have re-started the group at Las Rejas Restaurant. This is situated on the main Jimena to Gaucin road about ½ kilometre on the right after the turn off to Jimena.

The restaurant has a large conservatory for use during inclement weather and a courtyard for when the sun is shining. As a bonus there is a large function room in which John’s group can exhibit their work. There will be an exhibition there by both the Estepona and Jimena art groups at the beginning of July during the Jimena International Music Festival.

The Jimena class meets on Thursdays from 10am. A 4-course lunch with wine follows at 2pm. The total cost is 17.50 Euros.

John, a famous Welsh School artist, who has been teaching art in Spain since 1990, runs two classes, one at the ICE Headquarters at Bahia Dorada, Estepona, from 10am on Fridays, the other at Las Rejas Restaurant at Jimena from 10am on Thursdays. Such is the popularity of the courses that some members attend both classes. New members are always welcome. To book your place on Thursdays please initially ring John Hutchinson on 952 806 440.
