Southampton Arts Centre – Art School

Since the Art School opened in 1957, people of all ages and ambitions have arrived to learn watercolours, acrylics, printmaking, drawing, fabric art, sculpture, stained glass and woodturning. For a day, a weekend, a week, in the studio or on location, an adult or children’s class, whatever suited their time and ambitions. Over 75 adult classes are held each year from May to November in the Art School and over 45 children’s classes are held at the G C Huston Public School building during July and August.
Our instructors are among the best artists and teachers with a gift for passing on their knowledge, expertise and love of art to beginners, professionals and artists at every stage in between.
Classes are a great way to meet people who are also passionate about learning and expressing their creativity. Students don’t need to possess advanced skills prior to attending class. You will acquire these with each new technique you learn, all the while gaining confidence in yourself.

So come on out and spend some time with other people looking for the same inspiration you are and perhaps make a few new friends along the way.
