Saturday Summer Art Courses

Get creative in the summer term and join one of our exciting Saturday summer art courses!

PICS001 BW 110767

Over the summer term, we are running a range of one-day Saturday art courses. If you’re busy during the week, these courses are the perfect opportunity to unwind and delve into different art techniques.

There’s a range of courses to pick from, from taking inspiration from nature, architecture and printing techniques. You can explore techniques including watercolour, colour washes, layering paint, oil painting, capturing tone and form, and observing work from artists. If you’re a beginner, don’t worry, our tutors will be there to support learners of all levels.

Not only will you learn great artistic skills, but you’ll also take time for yourself, develop your wellbeing and socialise with other adult learners in a friendly, encouraging environment.
