It is so exciting when artistic talent appears at an early age.

We are keen to encourage young artists. These classes are for older children (9+ years) who are showing a more serious approach to art.

The classes focus on traditional drawing, painting and collage techniques, in an encouraging and non-competitive environment. The work produced can be used to build a portfolio.

Course Details

A step-by-step approach to cover a range of traditional skills such as drawing, painting and collage and students will use a range of materials including pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, water colours and acrylics.

Each week we will work on unique projects covering different themes. Students will be encouraged to create beautiful artworks from life and from photographs, referencing art history throughout.

Undecided? Book a taster

For the taster session, all materials are included. For regular students, we recommend the purchase of an Art Pack - we can advise you on where to obtain this when you book.

Autumn Term Programme

All materials are provided for a taster session. For subsequent lessons, you will find links to recommended materials below. You may already have some of these materials at home, in which case they will be fine to bring.

For regular students, we recommend purchasing a small collection of materials to keep in a bag so you can bring it with you each week.

 A range of H and B pencils
 A small box of acrylic paints (including, as minimum the three primaries- red yellow and blue plus white)
 A washable palette or tear off palette
 A small assortment of brushes
 A4 sketchbook + tear off pad of A3 cartridge paper if you prefer to work on a larger scale.
