We have several different art courses at The Art Academy. All are run in small groups of up to seven children so that individual attention can be given. We challenge all our students to enjoy an original experience of art in a relaxing atmosphere.
Our staff will give you a warm welcome and will be able to answer all your questions. So feel free to drop in and browse at your leisure. We'd love to show you what we do! Or join us for a trial lesson at a cost of £10 (pre-booking is essential).
