Why learning with us is so different

- Our classes & workshops are run by a a fully qualified and experienced teacher, a professional artist, who is also a gallery owner.
- Our classes & workshops are art focused with some socializing thrown in not the other way around.
- Most classes & workshops are about copying the teacher’s style. Ours are about developing your OWN style.
- The teaching area is within the Gallery which has ample natural light. You will be surrounded by beautiful art works to inspire you; they’re useful teaching aids too.
- We have our own What’s App group to share what we have done, support one another and to share useful tips and videos.
