New Update - Covid-19 - June 2022
We're continuing to provide a sanitised working enviornment during our workshops. We ask students to take a lateral flow test before thge class as long as these remain available; we are taking tests twice a week. Visors are available for anyone who wants to wear one.
We've updated our COVID-19 fact sheet - find it here.
If you have any questions or concerns get in touch and we'll do our best to help.
Would you like to learn a new art skill? Discover your creative side? Approach your existing artistic activities from a new direction?
Our ethos has always been to hold fun, creative and friendly classes in small groups, and to include all materials in the cost, wherever possible.
Read more about each type of art class on its own dedicated website page to the right.
Classes take place at the Vitreus Art studio in Northants near Towcester in our spacious studio, with small class sizes, widely spaced benches and COVID-Secure measures in place.
