With only a few days to go until the Windsor Contemporary Art Fair people are being urged to sign up for a host of classes.

Children and adults are being given the chance to hone their drawing skills with guidance from one of the UK's best known illustrators.

Harry Potter book designer Cliff Wright will be hosting drawing classes throughout the event which will take place at Windsor Racecourse, Maidenhead Road on November 14 and 15.

More than 100 painters, sculptors, ceramicists and photographers will be exhibiting their work at this year's Fair. Everything is for sale and with prices starting at just £30, everyone will have the chance to take home an original piece of contemporary art.

Talented artists from Slough's Soulful Gallery will also be running workshops to teach young people the secrets of graffiti.

Spokesman for the event, Sarah Mouger added: "It won't turn you into Banksy overnight, but you will gain a great understanding of popular urban art."

The show will run from 10am to 5pm on both days.

To book your place on one of the workshops with Cliff Wright or Soulful Gallery, please call the Fair organisers Deborah James or Sarah McAllister on 01753 591892 or email info@windsorcontemporaryartfair.co.uk
