What makes Chiswick Art School different?

Chiswick Art School is a special place. All classes take place in Chiswick (London Zone 3) yet we are surrounded by meadows. Our core of dedicated professional artists teach small groups in wonderful, ever changing courses, welcoming to beginners and with an ever growing roster of artists who use our classes to support their professional development. Chiswick Art School brings you atelier standard teaching at affordable prices.

We value teaching quality and student commitment

All our classes are taught by professional artists who are also experienced teachers, not academics.

When you attend a class it is an opportunity to work with someone who is deeply involved in their practice and is experienced in sharing their skills in a workshop setting.

At Chiswick Art School each course is run by the tutor, laying the groundwork for a committed artistic relationship. Each course has its own WhatsApp group.

Limited class sizes

We keep class sizes small to ensure the best support for each attendee.  

The maximum group size depends on the medium. For example: for pottery it is 8, while for painting or drawing from a model it is 9.

intensive groups such as pottery throwing groups are limited to 6, and the Pottery Tasters welcome a maximum of 4 students for each event.

Our Beginners’ Art Clubs and Drawing classes are strictly limited to 12 attendees, the ideal balance for a vibrant group that will also be of real benefit.

Our courses are focussed, allowing you to progress in the way that suits you. Some of our students stay with their groups for many terms, some start with an introduction course or our Beginners’ Art Club to discover their ideal pursuit.

Exclusive space

We have classes every day in pleasant and inspiring classrooms exclusively occupied by us. That means whatever your routine there is always something to get involved in.

Efficient and professional 

Chiswick Art School receives no government or local authority support nor grants of any kind. We do not follow an educational curriculum: our mission is to make it possible for people to experience making art as part of their everyday lives. This means our resources are focussed on delivering excellent workshops rather than completing paperwork, and we are responsive to you at all times.
