No matter what your group is interested in, our London art classes will help you create cherished memories you can fondly remember for years to come.

Celebrate birthdays in style with a paint party

If you’ve got a loved one’s special day coming up and need creative birthday party ideas to show them how much you care, why not dive into a world of colourful fun with a painting workshop?

Learning how to paint with friends and family is one of the best ways to celebrate your nearest and dearest. Your welcoming teacher will provide all the equipment and artistic inspiration you need, so all you have to bring is your gang to enjoy an evening of banter and laughs as you make precious memories.

Plus, there are so many art classes in London to explore, so you’re sure to find something they’d love to try. Whether you’re tackling a stunning celestial sky or transforming your paint canvas into a beautiful blending of Hogwarts and Van Gogh’s Starry Night, a paint party is one of the best birthday gifts you could ever give them. 

Get creative with your date ideas in London

If you’re looking to add to creative touch to your usual date ideas in the capital, you can’t go wrong with the hands-on fun of our London art classes. Picking up a pencil or learning how to use oil paints with your partner is a brilliant alternative to the usual meals or movie marathons and will help you discover artistic skills you never knew you had!

You don’t need to be a Michaelangelo in the making to take part either. Guided by a friendly teacher, you’ll quickly discover just how accessible London activities like watercolour painting and life drawing are for beginners.

Tune out from your everyday worries and treat your partner to an unforgettable day of creativity with a portrait drawing class, where you’ll learn how to sketch up a storm with handy hints and suggestions. It’s one of the best things to do in London if you need a little relaxation and a great chance to slow down as you focus on the fun and finish with your unique artwork. If you need calming gifts for couples, show them how much you care with this unique pencil drawing workshop!

Discover inspiring team building activities

Forget the awkward icebreakers and recycled group exercises. With our art classes in London, you can enjoy a hands-on team building activity that your group will actually love — smartphone photography!

Explore Android or iPhone photography and develop a new hobby with your crew as you take in the sights and scenery of the top London attractions. You don't need an expensive camera or professional lighting equipment to take part — with your smartphone in hand, the power to take stunning snaps is just waiting to be unleashed!

Led by your expert teacher, you'll uncover the capabilities of your smartphone as you take unique photos of the vibrant Brick Lane markets and iconic Truman Brewery. It's a brilliant chance to wind down away from the office and discover shared interests with the people you see every day.

Hosted in spacious studios across the city, you can leave all your worries behind as you channel your creativity and enjoy learning new painting techniques or drawing skills with a welcoming gang.
