Andy's Friday Art Class
My popular art class will start this September, based at the Cruising Club in Woodbridge. The class is ideal for both beginners and those with more experience. Each week we will cover a wide range of artistic activities from drawing and painting alongside print making and drawing a costumed model, using a range of different media and when the weather is good we visit different landmarks in the area to paint plein air. I provide most of the materials for print making and similar activities.
If you are new to us come to the first session for free-as a taster

Friday 19th September to Friday 12th December 2025 (except half term week)
10am-12pm
Fees: 6 weeks £72 12 weeks £144
The course has spaces for twelve people and will soon be full
