WHO CAN BOOK OPEN ACCESS SESSIONS
Experienced printmakers need to provide evidence of their knowledge and good studio practice. Beginners must have completed a short course at The Art Academy (evening or daytime courses excluding weekend introductory or taster courses).
From January 2018 if you study with us your first open access session is free. Ask your tutor for an offer code before you book online.
If you have not previously taken a course with us your first session will start with a studio induction which costs an additional £20. This will familiarise you with studio protocols and health and safety.
Artist and professional printmaker Steve Edwards supervises at all times, to offer support and advice.
Email enquiries to Steve Edwards: openaccess@artacademy.org.uk
Include your contact details and tell us what you want to do or ask us a question.
You can book open access sessions via our online payment system. Online bookings are non-refundable.
We look forward to seeing you in the studio!
SATURDAY DROP-IN LIFE CLASS
The Open Life Class is a relaxed and enjoyable drawing/painting class. There will be a life-model present for various one, two, or three week poses. Students are encouraged to approach the human figure in any way they please and can make as many drawings or paintings as they wish.
Experienced tutors will happily guide both beginners and the more experienced, but students can pursue as much or as little instruction as they like. Students are also free to use the materials they enjoy the most, from drawing in charcoal to painting in oils. All paper is provided for the course but please bring your own drawing/painting materials.
Experiment, explore and enjoy yourself.
Open Access costs: You can book next term’s course for 10 consecutive weeks for only £230.
Alternatively you can attend the class on a drop-in basis for only £25 per session. No booking is required and you can pay in cash to your tutor upon arrival. At your first class you will receive a loyalty card allowing you to receive your 10th class for free!
