This welcoming, practical course offers a continuous and supportive introduction to making art. Designed as a rolling learning experience, it explores a rich variety of subjects, artistic movements, individual artists and creative techniques through a learning-by-making approach.

Each term focuses on a different artistic style, technique, or genre, giving you the opportunity to develop confidence, deepen your understanding of artistic processes, and build a personal creative ‘toolkit’ of practical skills.

The course is ideal for complete beginners, while also offering fresh inspiration and new directions for anyone wishing to continue their creative journey.
