Whether you loved art lessons at school but never had the time to pick it up as a hobby or you're looking for creative ways to relax, free your mind and learn something new, an afternoon of painting, sketching or snapping photos in London might be just what you were after. Our range of London art classes might just be the ticket to get you out of the house — it's time to swap your screen for a canvas and an afternoon or evening of pure bliss!
Designed to cater for all skill sets, ages and group sizes, from smaller more focused sessions to couples painting and paint parties, we have an art class for every occasion. Whether you’re looking for an activity to do this weekend, you’re keen to learn how to paint or want to understand how to use oil paints to create a masterpiece of your own, art workshops are one of the most fun things to do in London at the moment.
Why choose an art class?
Are you looking to upskill or add to your creative portfolio? Perhaps you’re wanting to try a different style of art such as photography or painting, or want to explore a new way to entertain your little ones at the weekend? Are you in charge of planning a get-together among your friends and colleagues and want to wow them with something unique? You can relax because your search ends here!
Based across a variety of locations across London and its surrounding suburbs, art classes will see you work with a variety of materials, ranging from watercolour paint and pencils to smartphone photography for the modern artist. There’s even the option to enjoy a glass of vino (or two!) while you get to grips with your paintbrush as part of a paint and sip class.
An ideal group activity, even for beginners
There’s no question that art connects people, and that makes our art classes in London the ideal choice for those looking to build on relationships. Whether you’d like to nurture existing friendships or meet new faces with a shared interest, you can bond over brush strokes as you learn to paint together.
From hen parties to corporate events through to birthdays, why not celebrate with a painting class? With London as your backdrop, the possibilities are endless. From locations including local farms, studios and even the city streets, it’s sure to be a day that will leave a lasting impression – you’ll even have your very own artwork to take away. If you’re looking for something different, why not drink and draw with a paint and sip class? Painting with cocktails in hand certainly sounds appealing!
If you’re booking solo, don’t worry. Art classes are a fantastic way to meet new people from London and beyond and we often hear stories of friendships starting with a smile from behind the easel. Our experiences are handpicked to be fun, welcoming and inclusive with options to fit around whatever it is that you’re looking for.

Take some time to yourself with a painting class
We all know that life can get a bit much sometimes, but an hour or two in front of a canvas can work wonders when it comes to mindfulness. Get back in tune with yourself by taking on a creative project, set yourself a goal and make art classes a regular part of your routine.
It’s a fantastic way to focus your energy and concentration on what’s in front of you. It’s just you and your subject; no interruptions, no distractions, but time to really be present and enjoy yourself through the medium of art. Leave those everyday worries behind and use your art class as a method of meditation. Feeling in a state of zen can play a big role when it comes to creativity – the more relaxed you feel, the freer you’ll feel when it comes to putting your paintbrush to paper at that watercolour painting class.
Ultimately, it’s all about having fun
Whether you take your art seriously or you’re just looking for a good time, an art class in London is guaranteed to be heaps of good fun. There are few other London activities like it.
You can learn a new skill at a painting class or enhance an existing passion through an art workshop, all while you enjoy the company of your friends and loved ones. Class painting also gives you the chance to connect with new people and explore different opportunities and environments across England’s capital.
