Adult Art Class Info
Adult Exploring (Beginners)
Always wanted to learn to draw or paint but never known where to start?
This friendly beginner class introduces the foundations of art step by step. We explore drawing, colour, simple painting techniques, and how to approach different subjects.
The class is small, relaxed, and supportive, making it ideal for anyone who feels a little nervous about starting.
Many people join simply to enjoy a calm creative evening each week while learning new skills.
No experience required.
Adult Watercolour & Drawing (Beginners)
This class works whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or you've already got some watercolour experience under your belt.
Each session we tackle a different subject together. I take the group through how to approach the drawing, shapes, and composition, so you're never staring at a blank page wondering where to start.
From there we build the piece up in pencil and watercolour. Over time this is where the real progress happens - the fundamentals start clicking, and painting stops feeling like guesswork.
It's a relaxed room. Ask as many questions as you need, work at your own pace, and watch your own style start to emerge.
You are welcome to come to both classes if you wish, as they are on alternate Thursdays.

Kids Art Class Info
Kids Sketching (Ages 10+ approx)
This class is designed for older children who enjoy drawing and want to develop their skills further.
We focus mainly on pencil sketching and observation, learning how to draw animals, objects, and scenes with better proportions, shading, and detail.
Students begin to understand how artists see shapes, light, and form, helping them build confidence in their drawing.
Perfect for children who love drawing and would like to improve their technique while still keeping the class relaxed and enjoyable.
Kids Draw & Paint (Ages 6 -10 approx)
A fun and encouraging class for younger artists who love drawing, painting, and getting creative.
Each session introduces a new project, chosen by the children themselves, designed to build confidence and creativity.
Children draw along with me, in a step by step demonstration of the chosen subject, then they have the freedom to add colour and details as they wish, with guidance if necessary.
The focus is on enjoying art, experimenting, and building skills step by step in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Children can come to both classes if they wish, as they are on alternate Thursdays.
