The Art and Design Studio provides a fantastic learning experience for all levels of skills. What I like most about these Arts classes is the exposure I’ve had to a variety of media and Artists. Cathy, our Art teacher gives critical feedback and is at the same time encouraging and pushes us to challenge ourselves. Thoroughly enjoyable sessions and I’d highly recommend these courses for anyone who wants to develop or improve their Art skills

An excellent introduction to lino cutting amazed at how much the other 3 attendees and myself created in the day. Perfect space to learn in and taught with great enthusiasm and knowledge. A brilliant day highly recommend this course. Can't wait to put this new skill into practice I will never buy a greetings card again. Thanks again Cathy.
