An Art School with a vision in the heart of Exeter, offering creative workshops and term time classes for young people aged 4-16. Our fun and inspiring art classes are a wonderful opportunity to explore different mediums and techniques, and to make friends with likeminded creatives!
Run and delivered by passionate professional artists, we place learning, creativity, and wellbeing at the heart of every session.
Planning an art class is like planning for a magical experience – an art room should be a place to inspire young people, filling them with wonder and delight. Held in our wonderful studio in Guildhall Shopping Centre, our art classes focus on delivering high quality teaching and class content which will give your child a solid base of techniques and skills in a variety of mediums. Our classes are also a wonderful place for young people to meet new and like minded friends, take risks and flourish in an environment where there is no such thing as a mistake! We believe the children should be given a platform to celebrate their successes and we provide opportunities for the students to participate in art exhibitions as well as showcase their work in our online gallery.
We encourage community awareness, involvement, and participation in the arts. Through engaging young people in creative projects, we provide ways for them to actively engage with their communities and teach them that there are many ways to have an impact and generate positive change.
