CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
The Art School Salisbury offers a range of professionally tutored classes and workshops in and around Salisbury for all levels of ability. The core aim is to provide the highest quality instruction and make classes as fully accessible and inclusive as possible; offering art tuition at the most affordable prices for all.
All of the the classes include fortnightly set projects that are supported by in depth live demonstrations and include all visual reference materials required for the given assignment. These projects are optional; should students wish to pursue a particular subject or area of interest, support and guidance is given to them to explore this independently. With group projects, once introduced, support is then provided one-to-one for each student at the level of ability they are currently at. With this individual support and targeted teaching, everyone can develop at their own pace, with expert guidance to help them develop artistically and technically as individuals at a tailored pace that is appropriate and comfortable for them.

Introducing a new professionally tutored fundamentals of Painting and Drawing evening class, tailored once again to all ability levels. This weekly session will cover the entire spectrum of core fundamental techniques and principles of drawing and painting via weekly projects and demonstrations. As with Tisbury, should students wish to pursue their own subject matter, guidance and support will be available when required. The format closely follows the structure of the Tisbury Art Circle programme which has been hugely successful and well received over the last 14 years. Once again all subjects will be covered for project topics across the entire range of popular dry and wet media.
This is a mixed ability level class, beginners all the way through to the more experienced. As the class is limited in numbers, tuition is delivered in very much a one to one basis. All mediums are expertly taught, from watercolour to oil and acrylic, as well as a whole range of drawing mediums. Whatever you'd like to master, we have you completely covered and catered for.
Materials are not provided but you can email prior to your first session for a basic material list in order to get started, we can then discuss further options of mediums from there going forwards. The suggested basics to get started in drawing are: generally an a3 cartridge drawing pad or sketchbook, a range of b grade pencils and a kneaded eraser. For extended art materials suggestions for both drawing and painting, please click the resources tab for full lists.
Places are limited to 12 people per class and they do go quickly, so it is always advisable to book asap and in advance. Use the contact link to check availability and to request booking details.
Please note this is a weekly rolling class and not a limited course. It runs every Monday, with no sessions on bank holidays and two short breaks over summer and the Christmas period.

Introducing a new weekly evening life class for 2022 that will offer the opportunity to draw from live models for two hours, every week.
Drawing from life is one of the most time honoured traditions of art education and one of the surest ways to improve your ability to learn to see and translate this to your page.
The session will focus mainly on quick sketch, the aim being to develop an energetic and gestural approach to capturing the model; through the production of many drawings, your skill and facility to do so will improve at a rapid rate. Poses will start at between 1-10 mins for the first hour of the session, with the final hours focusing more on longer poses, between 10-25 mins.
This is a non-tutored shared cost class, allowing the opportunity for a group of artists to come together through a mutual interest of drawing and painting from life, with the group collectively funding this valuable weekly resource.
Even though this is a drop in, pay as you go session, places will still be limited to a maximum of 15-20. The first 10 of these places will be reserved for people who block book 4 consecutive sessions at a time. It would also be much appreciated, even if you are attending on a drop in basis, to give the group a weeks notice of your commitment to attend for that weeks class.
Thursday evening intermediate-advanced class
St Thomas's House,
St Thomas's Square,
Salisbury. SP1 1BA
Thursdays from 6.30 pm-9.30 pm
Currently not running, return date to be decided later this year.
This new class will focus less on the basic foundation skills and techniques and will instead concentrate more on the process of developing paintings and drawings for exhibition and sales ultimately. We will cover more advanced and in depth subjects centred around composition, story telling, emotive elements, structure and picture design whilst also taking the exploration of core techniques further and in greater detail.
The session will also include extended demonstrations and a deeper dive into materials and their strengths and limitations, and how different media can provide a plethora of benefits over others that may better suit the subject.
The nature and content of this class means it is geared more towards the upper intermediate to advanced students. Places will be limited to 10 and we have half of those spots still available.
These promise to be chocked full of exciting and hugely informative content, so we do hope you decide to try it out and see what it has to offer you.
