Further Education Art Club
Suggested Ages 13-17, with Sophie Newnham
Are you studying art for GCSE or A-level or looking to further develop your artistic skills?
Join Sophie Newnham for a weekly class helping you to explore and develop your art skills beyond the classroom.
These sessions are full of experiment and fun, and provide a supportive environment for you to learn specific technical skills and to build your portfolio with work of which you can be proud.
Each week we will take on a new technique so you can develop your skills in new ways.
Undecided? Book a taster.
For regular students, we recommend the purchase of an Art Pack - please let us know if you would like some advice when you book.
