The Painting Academy - Pick & Mix Flexi Course

These Painting Academy sessions are flexible to suit you but you do need to book the sessions in advance. You can attend any number of these sessions and mix times to fit in with your lifestyle. These do not have to be consecutive weeks so you can fit the course around your holiday or other time demands.

The Pick & Mix Flexi Course comprises eighteen projects that highlight a range of different pottery painting techniques. Choose six of the projects, ideally picking your projects so that you can learn different techniques.

The course costs £45 for six weeks to include tuition, Studio Fee, use of paints, glazing & firing and other resources. Choose a piece of bisque (unpainted pottery) from our extensive range every week. There is 25% discount on the Studio-recommended piece of pottery or equivalent or you can choose any one of around 150 pieces. The prices of the pieces range from £4 to £50.
