Winter is upon us, which means it’s the ideal time to cosy up indoors with our art classes in Leeds! After all, what better way to spend cold afternoons than bundled up in snuggly jumpers with our loved ones, getting creative?

Paint and sip classes will help you revel in relaxation
Imagine sipping on a glass of your favourite tipple (or a festive mulled wine!) while creating a masterpiece on canvas; that's what our paint and sip workshops offer! These aren’t just art classes, but fun social experiences that combine painting with relaxation. The informal environment encourages everyone to let their hair down and dive into their creative side, so why not invite your friends over for an evening of fun-filled painting?

In search of a unique date idea or fun anniversary activity? Don’t fancy braving the cold for yet another trip to the cinema? Couples painting classes are the answer! Our arty sessions for two are designed to boost communication and intimacy while creating beautiful works of art together. Whether it’s recreating Van Gogh’s Starry Night or painting a portrait of your beloved pet, these classes provide endless entertainment - all while strengthening your bond!
Capture breathtaking moments through landscape photography
If you’ve always admired the beauty of nature but didn't quite know how to capture it effectively through a lens, our landscape photography workshops are perfect for you! With experienced instructors guiding you every step of the way, you'll learn techniques such as composition rules, exposure settings, and post-processing. Brave the winter scenery for a chance to snap some truly magical moments; from snow-capped mountains to sparkling frost-touched greenery, you can capture it all!
Linocut Christmas cards will kick start your 2026 festive season
Say goodbye to shop-bought cards and add a personal touch to your festive greetings this winter! Our linocut Christmas card workshops, like those from Make Your Own, are perfect for those who want to surprise their loved ones with handmade cards, plus the process is simple, relaxing, and incredibly rewarding when you see your designs come to life. It’s also an excellent way of breaking away from the digital world, slowing down and embracing the charm of traditional printmaking.
