An Award-Winning Independent Art Studio Teaching All Manner Of Art, Pottery & Craft
Established in 2009
We are an award-winning art studio that runs daily, term-time children’s classes for 7-19 year olds and now, additionally, adult classes on Wednesday evenings!
During the holidays we often run workshops and courses for adults and children.
Check the ‘Events’ section to see what’s on! You’ll not only get information about these, but the option to purchase a ticket(s) and secure your place(s) too!
** We are a “by appointment only” studio and your place is indefinitely and exclusively reserved for you each week on your chosen day and time.
** If you do not have a pre-booked appointment, a scheduled class or are not an already registered student please do NOT visit the studio. We are on private property and our priority is to keep our staff and students safe. Instead, please use the ‘Contact Form’ below to get in touch.
** Lessons cost just £10 for the hour. This includes all materials, stock & tuition.
** Parents are asked to not stay with their child, although there is a little area in which to sit and reassure a nervous new starter, which is just a few feet from the studio itself. Details of this are in the ‘Garden Room’ section of the website.
The daily classes are unstructured to allow for creative flow - this means that every student can work on their own individual project.
These can be extremely varied and diverse.
- Sculpting & Pottery
- Needlework
- Embroidery
- Fabric Art & Sewing
- Fine Art
- Drawing Techniques
- Painting Skills
- Mixed Media
These are just a few of the activities ….. the list is truly endless!
** The studio is fully stocked with every conceivable art product and these are available to all students.
** Every completed piece is yours to keep.
** Each class has a maximum of eight students attending to ensure everyone receives the guidance and support they need.
Classes not only provide a vital creative outlet and freedom of expression, but are also therapeutic and additionally, a good way to form friendships and bonds with likeminded people.
** Art therapy is also an enormous help with various anxiety disorders, autism & ADHD
The timetables for the daily classes are listed below.
We look forward to welcoming you into our little creative community!

The little Garden Room is a small, cosy seating area (heated during colder months) just a few feet from the studio. It’s purpose is for parents to stay on hand if your child is a nervous new starter, but without the issues of sitting in on the class itself. Due to the lack of space in the studio and the fact that an unknown adult can be rather disconcerting to any other students attending, we thought this was the ideal solution. Relax, read a book, listen the birdsong and the happy sounds emanating from the studio and rest assured that your budding artist is in the safest of hands.
In 2022 I was completely surprised by being awarded a prize after being nominated for services to the local community. It was an absolute honour and one of my most treasured moments. This year (2024) I was thrilled to receive the Quality Business Award and given the title of the “Best Art School”. Again, an absolute honour.
