A website worth looking through is http://www.art.co.za/ - here you’ll find many links to organizations and people offering training and art.

Another source of cheaper training is the numerous Non-Government Organisations (NGO’s) that exist around the country – go to http://www.sangoco.org.za/site/ for 4,000 NGO’s in South Africa.

Recreation Centres also offer a large variety of courses at very reasonable prices – have a look at the centres in Johannesburg.
