Teens and older students
Evening studio sessions for students who want to get properly good at something. Technique taught seriously, work that belongs to the maker, and a room where being the kid who draws is the normal thing to be.

Taught like it matters
Drawing, painting, and ceramics taught as skills to build over terms, not one-off crafts. Students work on pieces across several sessions rather than finishing something every week.
Evenings, after everything else
Sessions run 5:30–7:00pm so they sit after school and around sport and rehearsal, not against them.
A studio, not a classroom
Six to twelve students, individual instruction, and the freedom to take a piece where you want it once you know how the material behaves.
Work from the evening studio
Drawing, painting, and ceramics by students aged 11 to 18, made over several sessions rather than in one sitting.




Upcoming classes for ages 11–18

About this Program
30

A real studio to work in, with someone to ask. Students choose their own direction in drawing, painting, or mixed media and use the time to go deeper rather than start something new each week.
Demonstrations and mini lessons happen as needed. Most of the session is quiet working time, with individual feedback from the instructor on whatever is in front of you.
Good for building portfolio pieces, preparing for advanced art courses, or simply having a place to make work alongside other people doing the same. Grades 9 to 12. Materials included.
About this Program
4 weeks October 15, 22, 29th and Nov 12th (No class Nov 5)

Four Thursdays: October 15, 22, 29 and November 12(no class Nov 5th)
Studio time with a teacher nearby. Students work in drawing, painting, or mixed media at their own pace and build up a body of work instead of finishing a different project every week.
Each session opens with a short demonstration or mini lesson, and the rest of the time is theirs. The instructor moves around the room, giving feedback one student at a time on technique, color, and composition.
Best for students who like working on their own and want their skills to catch up with their ideas. Ages 11 to 14. Materials included.
