Would you like to spend one evening a week drawing and painting?
Build your creative habit with a group of Artistically Inclined Peers. Our goals are:
Self-improvement, Socialising, Art Practise, Exploring, Experimenting and Learning.
StART Club is less formal than an art course – you set the agenda. Bring your own ideas or choose from a range of inspiring projects. Decide what skills you want to develop in the medium of your choice. The studio is well equipped with an artist-tutor on-hand to help you.
Regular Activities:
- Drawing and Painting Practise
- Advice and Feedback
- Experimenting with new techniques and materials
- Constructive Criticism
- Art Challenges
We also have the option of running special activities depending on interest
Special Activities:
- Watching Art Movies e.g. ‘Loving Vincent’
- Painting Trips
- Museum and Gallery Visits
- Life Drawing
- Talks and Demos by Guest Artists
- Playing Art Board Games e.g. ‘Starving Artists’
- Inspiration walks
+ Plus: add your ideas!
