Student review
“As a complete novice to art I felt comfortable exploring drawing skills using different materials. I was able to ask questions without feeling stupid and with a small group we encouraged and supported one another along the way.”

The Weekly Art Class has a well-planned programme of creative arts projects that students can access at their own pace.

Contemporary and historical artists are referenced for guidance and inspiration.
Class structure
Weekly art projects
Weekly creative art projects give students the opportunity to work with a variety of drawing, painting and mixed media materials and techniques.
There is opportunity to explore different styles such as realistic, semi-abstract or abstract, depending on personal preferences.
Students may take as long as they wish working on a project: complete it during the class, continue at home during the rest of the week, or continue over multiple weeks. Either way, every class will offer fresh new ideas – flexibility is key!
Benefits of attending
Regular attendance at the Weekly Art Class allows students the time to become aware of their own interests and the direction, themes and imagery they would like to explore in their own art.
Personal self-expression
We are a creative arts studio so always encourage personal interpretation and self-expression in students’ work.
Supportive tutor-led teaching
Students will experience an encouraging, patient and inclusive teacher-led approach to teaching. There will be lots of one-to-one support for everyone!

I booked this art class as a birthday gift for my daughter, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect. We both had such a brilliant time and it’s definitely sparked a renewed interest in art for both of us.
Brian, our teacher, was amazing—patient, encouraging, and so knowledgeable. He gave us a clear and helpful demonstration on how to use charcoal, showing different techniques and how to create various textures. He made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of skill level, and was always on hand with helpful advice and support.
It was a really special experience to share with my daughter, and we both left feeling inspired and proud of what we created. Highly recommend this class to anyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or just looking to try something new!

Brian’s Wednesday morning art class is my favourite 3 hours of the week…new projects every session allows you to explore and build your knowledge, trying different media, techniques and subject matter. Brain is a skilled teacher and no matter your level of experience he is patient and supportive. The other students are so welcoming, encouraging and good fun. I can’t recommend highly enough… you just have to give it a go, you won’t look back.
