FAQ

Do I need any previous art experience?
No experience is needed. Our classes welcome complete beginners and experienced students alike. We focus on building confidence, teaching strong foundations, and creating a supportive first experience. Many students continue into our regular classes after their taster.
How are your classes taught?
Classes are small and highly personalised, with one-to-one guidance in a relaxed group setting. Students work on their own projects rather than following one group exercise. Beginners receive structured foundations, and many continue seamlessly into regular classes.
How many people are in a class?
Each group class lasts 2 hours and is limited to a maximum of 10 students. This ensures every student receives meaningful individual feedback and tutor support throughout the session.
See more FAQs   
Who will be teaching the class?
Our tutors are professionally trained artists from leading art institutions, including the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins, Slade School of Fine Art, and more. They combine strong technical expertise with supportive, inspiring teaching.
Can I choose what I draw or paint?
Yes. You may choose your own subject and medium, working from photos, imagination, or still life. We also provide a wide range of studio props and references for inspiration.
Will I finish a piece during the session?
Many students complete a small study in one session, however classical drawing and painting techniques may benefit from multiple sessions. Oil paintings may need drying time, which you can choose to collect on a different day or bring a carrier bag to take home.
Is the building accessible?
Unfortunately, the studio is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. If you have access questions, please contact us before booking and we will do our best to advise.

  • 5/5 from Sabah Rehmani, attended May 2026: As someone who is a complete beginner and was anxious that I wouldn't be able to produce a sketch within 2 hours. I was surprised and proud with what I produced. The teacher was friendly and supportive and gave me a confidence boost to pursue this further.
  • 5/5 from Maia Gouaze, attended May 2026: Teacher was very professional and gave greats tips for improvement :)
  • 5/5 from Laura Deacon, attended Oct 2025: My teacher was very experienced and knew how to start me off as someone who hasn't drawn in a while. He taught me key skills and didn't rush me, he let me perfect my skills. It was very relaxing and I felt very welcomed. Highly recommended for anyone at any level!
