I have wanted to attend an art class for years and I'm so glad I signed up for Creative Art Farnham. I have learnt so much in just one term and I now feel confident to try different mediums myself. The tutors are excellent and great fun. Everything is provided including step by step instructions and a video of the lesson as well as fun, lots of laughs and biscuits.

Really well run course, well taught well organised and extremely friendly. Full of encouragement and detailed teaching. I have really learnt a lot, and it’s been good to go back to basics and have guided teaching- and it’s great fun!

Inspiring, creative, art lessons which are structured to provide a demonstration of various art mediums allowing the student to gain knowledge whilst in a calming space and to explore their individual styles by drawing or painting a different subject matter over ten weeks. I have absolutely loved each lesson. It has allowed me the time to let go and dedicate three hours to one of my loves, art exploration. The only criticism, is the time goes far too quick!

I have already signed up for the next course after having completed the first. The tuition is excellent for people like me who have never been taught but like to have a go!

The classes have been a total revelation! Having not drawn at all since school, I had no expectations of producing anything even half way decent. The ladies are terrific and so encouraging, the tuition is excellent and with the handouts and video each week, there is no excuse not to get stuck in. If, like me, you are slow in class, you can always complete your piece at home and if you don't have the necessary tools, the 'shop' can supply your every need at a very good price. We have all learned so much and improved tremendously - and each and every picture has its own merit. It's so interesting to see everyone's take on the same subject. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and everyone is keen to return. So give it a go. What's not to love?

Absolutely love these classes! I joined with no experience at all and now feel confident enough to put pen/paint to paper and see what happens. The teacher and staff are great and the classes are well put-together and fun and it's a friendly atmosphere. I've actually learned things too 😁. Highly recommend this course.

Although I have been doing art for many years, this was by far the best experience I have had. Everyone feels included no matter what level they are at. I am going back for another term. Also made some amazing friends

I had a wonderful experience with Creative Art Farnham. The moment I arrived I received a warm welcome from the team and the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. Each week we started with a demonstration which was so instructive even I as a beginner got a good result by the end of the afternoon. I learnt so much and we received handouts each week so that we could refer to them later. The subjects covered so many aspects - drawing in pencil and charcoal, watercolour and acrylics. Everything was so well organised from paints to tea and biscuits. I’ve definitely got more skills than I had 10 weeks ago. Thank you, ladies!

Joining the Creative Art Classes is the best thing I have done, I have learned so much in the two years I have been going and have attempted lots of subjects I would never had tried and have really enjoyed. The classes are very warm and friendly and we have lots of fun and give each other lots of encouragement

I have been attending these classes for the past 2 years and always really look forward to the start of the next term. Each week in the term we are given new medium and new topics to practice on, this gives me the inspiration I need to then work at home on my own projects.

I have just completed a 10 week course with Carolyn and Lyn both who are very good and knowledgeable artists. Each week the lesson begins with a 15 - 20 min. live demo projected onto a large screen. This is accompanied with step by step hand-outs which are yours to keep. I was a beginner on my course together with 3 other students.After the initial demo we were taken aside and given simpler work together with extra training and hacks to make the work less frightening. The first week was pencil drawing by Van Gogh which I completed in 3 hours plus some extra time at home. I am so pleased I found this course and have booked my next course. I would highly recommend this to both beginners and experienced artists.

I have been going to Creative Art classes in Newbury for a year now, having started as a completely new beginner and have thoroughly enjoyed every one. The weekly demonstrations are amazing and it’s really useful to be given the link to the recording to see it again later. Over the year we have covered a huge range of subjects and media and I have learned a tremendous amount. The atmosphere in the class warm and friendly and Carrie and Carolyn couldn’t be more supportive.

The highlight of my week - a wonderful art group with the right balance of encouragement, structured projects with lots of variety in a friendly, warm, relaxed atmosphere. The tutors are amazing. Whether you’re a beginner or returner, you’ll find something of interest each week, it’s a great way to experiment and try new approaches … and make some friends along the way too!

Creative Art Classes, Newbury are a friendly bunch of lovely people. The course is well structured yet relaxed and informal. Each week you learn about a new technique and media which means you get to try out lots of things during the course. Led by inspirational and highly knowledgeable teachers, it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or have some experience, everyone works at their own speed. I've learnt lots and can see an improvement in my drawing and confidence after every course. All of this keeps me coming back for more!
