We provide art classes for children aged 4+ and professional art classes for children 6+. We also offer academic guidance for teens/kids with their GCSE, Art A-level and art scholarship applications, and art classes for adults and groups. We support home-schooled and SEN students.

We organise an art exhibition every year and participants have the chance to exhibit and sell their works and to receive Arts Award qualification after completing their art course.
