Thursday Art Class +

Weekly Art Classes + Elevate your practice in a professional, collaborative environment… This isn’t your typical art class. It is a dedicated space for established creators and art students seeking high-level feedback and a structured environment to advance their independent projects. Join us for a relaxed and inspiring two-hour ‘open studio’ session. This is a space for like-minded creatives to come together, work on their own projects, and develop their ideas in a supportive and collaborative environment. Bring along a piece you’re currently working on, a new concept you’d like to explore, or a project you’re developing. Throughout the session, you’ll receive tailored guidance and constructive feedback to help refine your ideas, strengthen your artistic approach, and move your work towards a resolved final piece. Whether you’re looking for fresh perspective, technical advice, or simply the motivation that comes from creating alongside other artists, this session offers time, space, and expert support to help your work progress. What to expect: Tailored Guidance: Individual, constructive feedback to help refine your artistic approach. Studio Environment: A shared creative energy with basic materials and bottomless refreshments provided. Flexible Growth: Open to established artists and current art students looking to bridge the gap between study and practice.

Creative Drawing and Illustration

Ready to rediscover your creative spark and unwind after a busy day? Unwind, explore, and rediscover your creativity. Our Creative Drawing evening class is a welcoming space for anyone curious about drawing – whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to a long-lost passion. Designed for busy lives, these relaxed sessions fit perfectly into your evening, offering a chance to slow down, switch off, and create. Together, we’ll explore all things drawing – from mark-making and expressive sketching to careful observation, imagination, and developing your own personal style. Along the way, we’ll take inspiration from the great masters of drawing, discovering how artists have used line, tone, and composition to bring their ideas to life. There’s no pressure and no expectation of perfection – just encouragement, guidance, and the freedom to experiment in a supportive, creative environment. Special Series Starting This June: Beatles & Brushes Love The Beatles? Love being creative? This June, our Thursday evening session transforms into a unique, music-inspired art experience.
