FAQs

Yes! Our classes are designed to give you the freedom to explore your own artistic interests. You're welcome to choose your own subject and medium—whether you're working from a photo, your imagination, or setting up a still life. And we have plenty of props in the studio for you to work with.

Unfortunately, our studio is located in a basement space and is only accessible via a full flight of stairs. As such, it is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have specific access needs let us know.

Our closest tube station is Covent Garden, we are located less than a ten minute walk from there. Upon purchase, one of our team will send you detailed instructions on how to find our studio via email, just in case.
