I went to a course at The Art Room over 3 years ago and have just kept going. The course content is varied , innovative and the standard of teachers and teaching is really high. I find that the classes and workshops also reinforce each other which helps me develop . Its a great space to work in .

A wonderful studio to explore wheel throwing and hand building. Individual creativity and projects are encouraged. Friendly welcoming place, lots of fun and you can switch off and immerse yourself in clay for hours. Bliss

Foundation painting at The Art Room with Jen Whitten finishes today and it has been a great 12 weeks. Lovely people and learned quite a lot. Thanks Jen for your expertise. If you're new to painting in oils this class covers it all.
