The atmosphere is friendly, informal and comfortable (the most important ingredient in the creative process – you have to feel ‘at home’ and relaxed.) The style of tutoring aims to celebrate the good points of everyone’s work, and develops paths for each individual to improve. Every artist is different, and therefore every art work is different too. All classes are 2 hours in duration. Class sizes are limited to 6-8 people and easels will be provided. Refreshments included.
