Our 10-Week Art Course

Our 10-Week Art Course is a daytime class for adults that makes learning simple, social and fun, with everything you need laid out for you, to create beautiful art.

Live Demonstrations

Your expert tutor demonstrates how to draw and paint every project at the beginning of each lesson so you can recreate this in your own work. Each demo is recorded so you’ll be able to revisit what you learned in each lesson.

Materials Provided

Top quality paint, brushes and all the other tools of the trade are laid out ready for you to use, no need to source them all yourself before class. Paper and pencils are not included but can be provided if you don’t have your own.

Personal Tuition

Your tutor spends time with you personally during each session to answer your questions and give guidance tailored to you as a learner, helping you get the most of of each project.

Quality Handouts

For each project you receive a Prep sheet which includes general guidance and tips. You also receive a Step-By-Step Guide for the project. Both are yours to keep – not only helping you to complete the project but also acting as a great resource for your own future projects.

Unique Projects

Each course contains nine different projects covering a variety of subjects; one each week and culminating in an exciting two week project. Mediums covered each term are graphite, charcoal, watercolour and acrylics but we often include other mediums – each term varies.

Refreshments

We provide tea, coffee and biscuits so you don’t need to bring anything with you.

There may even be some treats like cake and chocolate on special occasions.

Joining the Creative Art Classes is the best thing I have done, I have learned so much in the two years I have been going and have attempted lots of subjects I would never had tried and have really enjoyed. The classes are very warm and friendly and we have lots of fun and give each other lots of encouragement

I have just completed a 10 week course with Carolyn and Lyn both who are very good and knowledgeable artists. Each week the lesson begins with a 15 - 20 min. live demo projected onto a large screen. This is accompanied with step by step hand-outs which are yours to keep. I was a beginner on my course together with 3 other students.After the initial demo we were taken aside and given simpler work together with extra training and hacks to make the work less frightening. The first week was pencil drawing by Van Gogh which I completed in 3 hours plus some extra time at home. I am so pleased I found this course and have booked my next course. I would highly recommend this to both beginners and experienced artists.

From never having done any proper art lessons, I have learnt a huge amount in a short time & now have the confidence to 'give it a go'. Great lessons, fun group, friendly & enthusiastic teachers & well thought out curriculum. Highly recommend the course.

I would thoroughly recommend Carrie’s classes on a mon morning.
The classes are very informative shown by artist tutor Caroline showing details on a large screen and also providing a video in which you can study in your own time at home.
Lyn is flitting around seeing to our needs and helping to put us right if we get stuck, she also is a wonderful artist.
We use a selection of mediums and have painted pictures I could have only dreamt about
I have made a number of friends on this course, and my intention is to carry on .

A truly excellent course! I would recommend to anyone who is looking to bring art into their lives either for the first time or to learn more. It is extremely informative in a relaxed friendly setting. I've learnt so much and have enjoyed every minute of each session.
