The Beginners' Art Club is an introduction to a wide range of artistic skills in a group exploring the Arts for the first time: it is a great environment for you to start exploring your creative path.
When space allows, it is possible to make up any missed classes in the same week by joining another of the Beginners’ Art Club groups in the same week.
Casual creativity for all ages
Each week you will learn the skills required to draw and paint beautiful artworks. Our step-by-step approach allows students to work at their own pace, in a happy, relaxed and sociable environment.
As you will be learning many new techniques, we encourage you to maintain a sketchbook journal to make the most of your course.
Undecided? Contact us to arrange for a taster session or book online, with the option of joining the regular group afterwards.
