A WINCHESTER art graduate who unveiled a new children’s workshop business said demand for her space has “snowballed” since she opened just three months ago.
Donna Vokes, 31, launched Art Start UK – specifically aimed at providing children with their own art space – back at the end of March, but has since seen demand from adults wanting to take up art classes as well.
Ms Vokes, who lives in Sutton Scotney, said she started looking for a new site with the aim of giving her Saturday children at Henry Beaufort their own space to exhibit and took on a lease at Wintex House at Winnall.
“People were saying it was just what Winchester needed so I’ve grown it to include adult space as well now,” she said.
“We have also had a few birthday parties and I have even had enquiries from yoga teachers wanting to use the space. I’m hoping that will take off, art and meditation seem to be very popular.
