Art classes forages 3 to 12.
Classes run in groups of at least 8 children, by age and stage, plus one-to-one lessons. Real technique: brushwork, clay, colour, and drawing from what is in front of you.
Age groups
Children work with peers at a similar stage, so the project is never too easy and never out of reach.

Private lessons
Private lessons run at your child’s own pace, on whatever they want to get better at. They suit a child who is chasing one thing in particular, who would rather not learn in a group, or who is working toward a piece worth framing.
Length and rates depend on what you have in mind, so ask and we’ll put a plan together.
Ask AnnaTell us three things
That is all we need to come back with something specific.
- How old your child is
- What they are into right now: drawing, clay, painting, something else
- Which days or times could work
Every class ends withfinished work to take home.

Ask about class times
Classes are grouped by age and stage, so it starts with knowing who's joining. We'll tell you what's running, which group your child would be in, and hold a spot while you think about it.
Find the right class
Your child's age, what they are into, and which days could work. That is enough for us to say which group they would be in.
