Polly's Freestyle Art Sessions (half-day or full-day)

  • Yardley Arts, The Old School Hall The Square, Yardley Hastings Northampton, England, NN7 1EU United Kingdom (map)

By popular demand, art studio sessions are back! Come and make yourself at home in our beautiful studio. You can join Polly in a spot of painting and lose yourself in your creative own project. This is a great opportunity to either practice what you’ve learned in previous art courses, finish something you’ve never had time for or simply start something new.

The aim is to create a space in our lives to practice techniques and to experiment in a relaxed, sociable environment, and you never know, you might produce something wonderful.

Yardley Arts has a very good selection of art books on artists and techniques, as well as specialist art magazines providing great tips and inspiration. We have Wi-Fi, so if you can always bring your iPad to reference an image, if you prefer.

Please note that sessions are untutored.

It’s a great place to relax and be creative, to get in touch with another part of your brain, and give yourself permission for some ‘me’ time.
— Clare Duncan

What’s included

Art equipment (a range of easels, drawing boards and tables, etc) and Wi-Fi. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. And great company!

What to bring

Plus a packed lunch if you’re staying for both sessions. Alternatively, our wonderful pub next door, The Rose & Crown serves light snacks and meals (midday and evenings).

Afternoon 1pm to 4pm
Or stay all day!

Cost

£15 per session, morning or afternoon, or £25 if you stay all day SAVING £5!

Spaces limited to 12 people which means there’s plenty of room to spread out, so book early to avoid disappointment.

If you want to produce work that is beyond your current skill set, we advise that you attend one of our short courses first to give you a good level of foundation in that medium.
