Weekly art classes

CURRENTLY FULLY SUBSCRIBED

The classes focus on developing general art skills- for example, using perspective, drawing from still life, proportion and composition. We then also look at particular mediums- pastels, collage pencil etc. We tend to work as a group and develop key areas that we all agree would be of interest or a challenge.

  • Drop in session.

  • 10am-12 and 1-3pm every Thursday.

  • Pay weekly or in blocks for 4 sessions.

  • £10 per session or £30 for a block of 4.

  • Tea and biscuits provided.
