Absolutely loving these classes. As somebody who loves art but not done any since school & who isn’t any good at it, these classes have been brilliant. You don’t need any talent or skill you will just enjoy making art you can be proud of. It just makes you feel so good.

I am really enjoying the art classes with Sue and feel that I am gaining some knowledge about different styles and techniques as well as being introduced to the works of many influential painters. Sue passes on her great enthusiasm for the subject and introduces new topics for us to discover every week with demonstrations, a good supply of materials and she provides a wonderful work environment for us novices.
