A lovely setting to get some sketches down on paper with great tuition throughout.

Amazing!

As a newbie to drawing I wasn't expecting to achieve too much, but boy was I wrong. A lovely day, good company and an encouraging teacher who shared countless tips and gave one to one attention. The V and A is quite chilly when you're sat for hours so do bring the layers in winter, but it's a great, inspiring venue. I still can't believe how great my drawings look, thank you so much! This is not the end of my drawing journey :)

Even though we were complete beginners and the idea of drawing in a museum was daunting, Stella really made the whole experience extremely fun and informative. We had so much fun that our original anxiety melted away!
Jessica - 14 November 2017
Very interesting and engaging course. The long duration allowed me to get focused on the drawing and to develop my skills within the afternoon. I strongly recommend it.
Pav - 3 October 2017
Really enjoyed the class, learnt quite a few drawing tips and tricks. It is a long day but the time goes by fairly quickly. Recommend for beginners!
Helen - 11 July 2017

Maria - 2 May 2017
