Taster: Ceramic Hand-Building And Glazing Workshop in Peckham

We provide weekly art classes to adults, personalising the programme to each individual student.

You have the option to book one or multiple sessions and attend on a weekly or ad-hoc basis; whatever works best for you. In your first session, we will explore some drawing techniques followed by starting an acrylic painting on canvas.

By personalising the programme individually, you are able to learn and develop at your own rate. Our aim is for you to explore and experiment with a range of mediums such as watercolour, acrylics, pastels, inks, oils, etc; to develop your drawing skills in many different ways; to try out 3D activities and to have fun in the process!

Although there is flexibility in the course, there is also structure for the less experienced artist who is looking to learn a new skill. The classes are lead by talented artists who are able to teach and assist you with new techniques or provide you with ideas if you are more experienced.

We discuss inspirational artists from the Impressionists to David Hockney to Ann Blockley, who is a vibrant watercolour artist, and we experiment using their techniques.
Teaching and supporting you is the main priority! There will never be more than 10 students to 1 teacher.

For the evening classes, if you’d like to bring a bottle of wine or a drink to share with friends, please feel free to do so.
We hope to see you soon!

lease note: Our sessions run in line with school terms. Upon booking, we will contact you to choose your main class + start date (Mondays 1:00pm-2:30pm, Tuesdays 7:00pm-8:30pm or Thursday 10.30am-12pm).
