Overview:
Our Backbury art classes offer fun and informative sessions which are led by a fully qualified art teacher.
Furthermore, our weekly art classes offer the opportunity to mix with other like-minded creatives in a supportive environment.
In summary, you can attend our art classes throughout the year in 10-week blocks for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter sessions.
In addition, each class is two hours long.

Fully Guided Tuition:
The art classes offer guided tasks within a carefully designed programme which encourages a progression of skills.
Due to the teacher-led tasks, the art classes are suitable for beginner’s to improvers. However, more experienced artists are welcome to also join and are encouraged to work as independently as desired.
Most important, we restrict the art classes to 8 attendees so that everyone can receive individual tailored support.

The Course Content
Each 10-week programme has weekly challenges within a broad theme. The tasks are designed to develop your confidence and skill levels in a range of art techniques.
Each session, you will be expertly guided, step-by-step through a preprepared task. You will also receive visual examples of the task illustrating the stages of learning to support you further.
By the end of each 10-week programme, you will have had opportunity to explore the theme fully and develop your knowledge and skills base. What’s more, there will also be opportunity to develop your own ideas and style.
