If you are looking for exceptional art classes, inspiring creative workshops, or unforgettable artistic experiences in Chester, you have come to the right place.

That philosophy sits at the heart of everything The Art Doctor UK stands for.
What began as one educator’s vision to make high-quality art education more accessible has rapidly grown into a thriving creative community, delivering premium art workshops, regular courses, private events, school partnerships, corporate experiences, teacher CPD, children’s clubs, holiday camps, and specialist creative experiences across Chester, Cheshire, North Wales, and beyond.
Today, Dr Helen Jones and her husband, Iain Jones, lead the business together, bringing over 25 years of combined professional experience across art education, design, business, and customer experience.
