THE Noosa Arts and Crafts Association (NACA) is set to be busy with a slather of workshops planned for July and August, for anyone who likes to get creative.
The NACA is a not-for-profit organisation run mostly by volunteers that provides workshops led by experienced, visiting tutors.
This month, you can enrol in the weekly beginners’ watercolour class that is held every Monday, from 1pm to 4pm. Queensland artist John Newman tutors the class, that is open to anyone who wants to try the art of watercolour.

Led by Linda Thurmer, the class will focus on subject matter such as flowering plants and birds and will cover techniques such as composition and brushwork. Classes commence on 22 July, from 9am to noon, and are $60 for members and $90 for non-members.
