“A lightbulb moment – the way in which all relevant work links together in a cohesive way.” Maria M We had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend on the Creative sketchbooks course. It was great having so many returning students. We all got stuck in to transforming our shop-bought sketchbooks into a truly personal creative expression of […]
I have learnt to ‘free up’ my brain and experiment, but in a directed/focused way Caroline I The Expressive mark-making course resulted in an exciting weekend of experimentation, open mindedness, fun and drawings full of self expression. Our exploration of non-representational mark-making was embraced by a studio full of students with a willingness to let […]

Penny’s comment sums up the idea behind the […]
“I had fun” Amy J What better way to sum up the Youth-teenage Sunday art class this week than by Amy’s statement above. Students turned their attention to a classic A-level art project this week. At some point in everyone’s art education there is a need to slice vegetables in half and draw the fascinating […]
“It’s a great experience – lots of fun, fun, fun” The children’s art class took place again on 19th May on Sunday afternoon. Tracy taught the students about Pop Art and a bit of colour theory so they can improve their use of colour in their drawings and paintings. We received lots of positive feedback […]
This has proved to be the perfect course to get me started/confident and motivated. Gerrard G I was joined by 9 students on a fab weekend this May on the Creative drawing: introduction course. Tracey described the course as “welcoming, good pace, inspiring experience” during which I took students on a journey from technical drawing […]
Another fabulous youth art class for children of secondary school age. Judging by the photos taken during the class the students had a brilliant time. Unfortunately we forgot to ask them for their feedback – so it’s just images for this blog!
