Introducing our 5 Week Starter Programme , commencing on 4th and 5th September 2025. Learn new skills with expert guidance. All materials and refreshments provided. Join us for a creative journey like no other.

What will I learn?

Over five weeks, you'll build a strong foundation in drawing, exploring the essential elements of art: line, shape, value, form, texture, and space. You'll experiment with a range of materials and techniques, gaining confidence in observational drawing, expressive mark-making, and understanding how to create depth, proportion, and visual interest in your work.
This short course is ideal if you'd like to begin with drawing before committing to the full 12-week programme. At the end, you're welcome to transfer onto the longer course from week six and simply pay the difference. Each session includes group tuition, individual guidance, course notes, and all materials including paper and refreshments. For adults (over 18s) only.

Who is it for?

This course is ideal for those who want to improve their drawing skills — from complete beginners to experienced artists looking to refresh their skills.

What's provided?

All drawing materials, paper, handouts and refreshments are included. Students also receive a starter pack to take home, which consists of a sketchbook, a folder to store the class handouts, a range of pencils and a putty rubber.

What to bring?

Just yourself and a willingness to experiment! Sketchbooks are provided

About your tutors

"I graduated from Falmouth School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting, and I've spent over 26 years in mental health education as a Thrive Practitioner. I've also taught art at GCSE, A level and within FE colleges, which has strengthened my belief in how powerfully creativity supports wellbeing and self-expression. My own work is inspired by music, colour and the natural world, exploring rhythm and atmosphere through both observation and intuitive mark-making. Creativity, for me, is a way of connecting with others, and that belief shapes my teaching - supportive, expressive and grounded in helping people find resilience and balance."

“Art has been my whole life — which probably explains the paint on my shoes and the sketchbook in my shopping bag. Teaching is my way of passing on the passion. I don’t expect perfection, just a willingness to try and an openness to learning when things go sideways. My sessions are practical, relaxed, and occasionally interrupted by the sound of someone discovering that acrylic paint does, in fact, get everywhere. If you’re curious, you’re ready!”
