Our 10-Week Art Course
Our 10-Week Art Course is a daytime class for adults that makes learning simple, social and fun, with everything you need laid out for you, to create beautiful art.
The Course costs £325 per term and you can secure your place on the course with an £80 deposit.
Live Demonstrations
Your expert tutor demonstrates how to draw and paint every project at the beginning of each lesson so you can recreate this in your own work. Each demo is recorded so you’ll be able to revisit what you learned in each lesson.
Materials Provided
Top quality paint, brushes and all the other tools of the trade are laid out ready for you to use, no need to source them all yourself before class. Paper and pencils are not included but can be provided if you don’t have your own.
Personal Tuition
Your tutor spends time with you personally during each session to answer your questions and give guidance tailored to you as a learner, helping you get the most of of each project.
Quality Handouts
For each project you receive a Prep sheet which includes general guidance and tips. You also receive a Step-By-Step Guide for the project. Both are yours to keep – not only helping you to complete the project but also acting as a great resource for your own future projects.
Unique Projects
Each course contains nine different projects covering a variety of subjects; one each week and culminating in an exciting two week project. Mediums covered each term are graphite, charcoal, watercolour and acrylics but we often include other mediums – each term varies.
Refreshments
We provide tea, coffee and biscuits so you don’t need to bring anything with you.
There may even be some treats like cake and chocolate on special occasions.

I attended the last 10 week art course as an absolute beginner. Carrie and her team made me feel really welcome, the demonstrations have been really good and I have learnt alot. Carrie and Tara are very patient and always on hand to give me extra support when I have need it. The group are so friendly and welcoming, I have really enjoyed my Wednesday mornings and I am looking forward to seeing what I can produce next term.
Absolutely fantastic lessons. Really supportive and talented teaching using a wide variety of mediums. My art pieces were transformed.
Love everything about these classes!! The tutors are fabulous, the curriculum is fun and the community is the best.Definitely 5 stars!
I can thoroughly recommend Creative Art Classes. Extremely well organised with lovely supportive staff on hand to help at every step.
Having always been terrified and with no confidence in my doing any art I plucked up courage and have now just finished my first term. These classes are so well organised and the teaching is fantastic. Good clear demonstrations, lots of encouragement, equipment provided and a really warm atmosphere. Thank you Carrie and team for a brilliant first term and for anyone looking for an art course I totally recommend this one!
Wednesday mornings are my favourite time of the week. There is such a lovely atmosphere and everyone encourages each other. The staff are brilliant and patient as well as very experienced. We have a demo to begin the morning and then we get stuck in. There’s a great variety of projects across the 10 week term, from pencil and charcoal to watercolor and acrylics and so many different techniques. I’ve learnt so much- I love Wednesdays!
A very well organised and run art experience for students of all ages and standards.All materials are provided and of exceptional standard making learning a pleasure. Demonstrations and work sheets are easy to follow and the posted videos are always there for you to follow if you want to review the session at home and review for future use, they are always yours. I've had a great time over the last 10 weeks and increased my confidence using new media and enjoyed the whole process in a friendly atmosphere. Thank you, looking forward to next challenges in May.
This is just the best Art Class- it’s really well organised and everything is laid out ready for you. You do not need to bring materials or equipment. The things provided are top quality. The demonstration structure allows for you to be creative but gives you great help also. There is a short demonstration which is also videoed and will be emailed to you later . This is very helpful if you do have to miss a class, and gives you tuition at home. I have been amazed at the wonderful art I am creating. The ambience of everyone there and the wonderful teaching is really pleasant, it’s super friendly but also businesslike. I am definitely joining up again next term. This is a real happy place for me. You can park easily, and there’s a coffee mid-morning. It’s all a 5* experience. The tutors are really experienced at working with a mixed ability group. Sometimes the tasks are differentiated, and sometimes beginners and improvers work together. It’s a really encouraging environment, with the right amount of help and the right amount of being left to get on.
Carrie and her team are extremely supportive, friendly and encouraging wherever you may be on your creative journey. The sessions are well structured using a step by step guide with a variety of different mediums and in the company of like minded people. Great fun. Would highly recommend.
