Your teacher will create a plan with you based on your current skill levels and aims/goals. The content of classes remains flexible due to the nature of the students in each class.
Our programs are tailor made for the individual student with the group in mind. Some classes may have more structure (eg. drawing course) and others offer micro lessons within a studio style of class. Groups are kept small and only a few beginners taken on at a time to give the appropriate amount of time required. The art medium taught may vary term by term as classes are based on our participant's needs. Please ask if we are able to teach your chosen medium this term!

A variety of workshops and art courses are on offer on a regular basis throughout the year.
Workshops are generally only a few hours long and students aim to have one finished art piece by the end of it.
Art Courses include topics such as: technical drawing skills, foundational drawing, watercolours for beginners and intermediate students, soft pastels and portraits, life drawing lessons.
Courses run over a number of weeks or a term and focus on specific art techniques, styles and artists with the aim for students to develop greater confidence with these areas in order to apply this understanding to their own art pieces. Course topics change on a term by term basis.
