Open Studio Workshops
£18 | 2 hours | Adults only
Need a creative space to explore your own work? Our Open Studio sessions offer just that—dedicated time in our inspiring classroom to focus on your personal projects, without the structure of a taught lesson.
Bring your own ideas or continue something in progress, with access to professional art equipment and materials.
🛠️ What’s included:
-
2-hour use of our studio space
-
Access to a range of shared materials and tools
-
A tutor is present in the room and happy to answer quick questions or offer light guidance, but no formal teaching is provided
These sessions are ideal for independent learners, portfolio builders, or anyone wanting a bit of peaceful, productive art time in a well-equipped setting. There maybe a lesson happening during this time but you are welcome to work on your own thing at your own pace.
