Face to face Classes
Please book face to face classes in person, as your booking fee is needed to secure your place.
Our small first floor AIR CONDITIONED art classroom comfortably sits 9 students. It is fully equipped with all the latest technology such as large interactive whiteboard, visualiser camera, and projector, so everyone can see what is being taught. In fact what you see in our online classes is what you see in our classroom, only much bigger and with the benefit of having Barry on hand to help with any problems you have in your painting or drawing!
The classroom is equipped with daylight lighting so that your colours remain as they would appear outside, as well as a creatively encouraging environment with dispays and plants.
Almost all of our classes are self-contained, allowing you to pick and choose the lessons you would like to attend, without booking lengthy courses. We know how important flexibilty is to you, and how having the ability to choose your classes alows you to better manage your budget.
We require a non-refundable £6 booking fee to secure your place. Should you be unable to attend, the booking fee also includes a link to the lesson recording. If we are given at least 24 hours notice, we may be able to transfer your booking for to another class, but this is not guaranteed.
