Inspiring artists | Art classes every Tuesday,
Wednesday & Thursday in the idyllic setting of
Thornham Walks
At Suffolk School of Art, we believe that everyone has the potential to create stunning artwork. Our philosophy centres around nurturing individual creativity and artistic expression in a supportive environment.
We have a relaxed and informal method of teaching art, there are no barriers to learning art, whatever your abilities, whether you are a total beginner or a more experienced painter, you will find a supportive and inspirational network of fellow students.
During my early years as a painter I attended many art classes where groups of adult painters would congregate
in a sterile room or a cold village hall. Usually instructed to all paint the same subject, or ‘follow me’ classes led by
someone thinking that everyone there will be able to keep up with them, and produce satisfactory paintings in two
or three hours. I wanted to something different to that, to teach artists to paint in their own style and technique.
