Our classes suit beginners through to the more aspiring artist - positions are limited to take on 1-3 beginners at a time for mentoring and quality purporses. While enjoying the social and relaxed atmosphere of our classes, we focus on the development of techincal fine art foundational skills for creative confidence. More info below.

CLASSES EXPLAINED Designed with explicit lessons as well as studio time - focusing on set skills/art materials or subjects, flexible topics. Studio time gives choice - students work on chosen pieces/images in chosen materials with direct feedback & lessons. Once students develop more creative confidence and skills - they have more studio time with individual feedback. A flexible term plan is designed with students needs and interests in mind. Our aim is for students to enjoy the creative process while learning the necessary skills. Through research it is proven that the brain learns best when enjoying the learning process! Students are required to begin collecting images/subject/photos/artists works for inspiration and reference to work with during studio time.
