From drawing and acrylic painting to printmaking, pottery, and glass fusing we offer plenty of courses that can help you explore your creativity. See our full course list to discover what you could learn next.
Art & Design courses offer a brilliant way to learn a new skill in a fun and relaxing setting. In our recreational art courses, it’s hard to go wrong; so test out your ideas and recreate art that inspires you.
If you’re looking for something a bit different from typical classroom learning, we’ve got you covered. We’re proud to run Art & Design courses in some of Oxford’s culturally rich and inspiring locations, such as our drawing classes in the Oxford Botanic Gardens and Ashmolean Museum. Each session our passionate tutors will share their top tips and tested techniques as they support you to experiment and discover what you can achieve.
Through our part time courses you can make the most of our Art & Design studios and specialist facilities.
Whether that is using our Kiln to create your own glass work, or using our pottery wheels to create a set of ceramics you can take home and proudly showcase.
Alongside our specialist facilities, we also have expert tutors who are keen to share their enthusiasm for their craft.
Surrounded by their infectious passion and other keen learners, you’ll see all that is possible for you to create.
