‘A really friendly place to learn from experienced people’
Uniquely designed and delivered 6 x 6 week courses for beginners. Taught by local artist and designer Charlie who has over 25 years experience teaching art.
Tuesdays at 12.30 – 2.30pm
Term 1 – Still life (drawing) – Sept 17th – October 22nd
Term 2 – Objects in interiors (drawing, painting)- November 5th – December 10th
Term 3 – Portrait (painting)- January 7th – Feb 11th
Term 4 – Interiors (drawing)- Feb 26th – April 2nd
Term 5 – Landscape (painting) – April 23rd – June 4th
Term 6 – Still life revisited (collage, mixed media) – June 11th – July 16th
In both beginners and improvers, the sessions we will follow the classic method for learning to draw and paint. It is easy to learn to draw by copying the example of a tutor leading the group, but this tends to produce a ‘house style’ where everyone ends up drawing in the same way. Your drawing style is as unique to you as your handwriting (if school hasn’t obliterated it) – here you will learn to enhance your own drawing style, not replace it with ours.
Please note: all courses begin with drawing, and include a talk about relevant art movements and practitioners.
Price includes all materials and coffee and biscuits (donations taken to help with refreshments)
Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon

Unleash your child’s creativity with this exciting Kids Drawing and Painting Class! Join me every other Thursday evening from 6 to 7 PM during the school term. In each class, the kids choose the subject for the session, and together we’ll draw and paint, allowing each child to create their own unique piece of art.
What to Expect:
Guided Creativity: I will demonstrate how to draw and paint the chosen subject, guiding the kids step-by-step. However, I encourage them to ‘make it their own’ and explore their creativity, rather than just copying my example
Skill Development: Through repetition and practice, students will gain confidence and learn new skills in every session
Artwork to Take Home: Each child will create their own masterpiece to take home after every class
All Materials Provided: There’s no need to bring anything except clothes that can get a bit messy. I’ll supply all the art materials!
​
Exhibition in August: As we approach the next summer holidays (2025), we will prepare for a proper art exhibition where the children can display their art work in a professional manner, to exhibit to the general public as well as friends and family.
Class Details:

Location: Sheldon Road Church, Audley Road, Chippenham
Cost: £30 per month
Schedule: Every other Thursday, 6 – 7 PM​
Approx age 7-11 years old.

Why Join Me?

Creative Fun: These classes are both fun and challenging, designed to inspire creativity and artistic expression.
Safe Environment: I am fully DBS-checked, so you can leave your kids with me for the hour with peace of mind.
Affordable Pricing: Only £30 per month. The first payment is taken on 1 September and then monthly on a rolling basis. Each payment covers all classes that fall within that month.
