This course is ideal if you have little or no drawing and painting experience; a great way to learn from the very start!
You will learn in the following ways:

Basic materials will be provided, however we encourage you to bring any materials or equipment you may already own and wish to use.

Meet the tutors
We want our learners to feel welcome, safe and at ease when attending our classes, especially if this is your first time attending an adult education class or if you're coming back to education after a break.
If you're interested in one of courses, meet our tutors first! You'll see they have similar passions and interests and, most importantly, the right qualifications to help you make the most of your time and money.
