Kirsten has a lovely studio in the centre of Lewes, with students art work around the walls. Her classes have a friendly and creative atmosphere which is great for learning art, whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills. Many people (including me!) come back for more.
Artstart is a very friendly and enjoyable art class. Most people use oil paints, but I prefer acrylics. Kirsten makes positive suggestions so that we improve our skills, and I always look forward to our weekly classes.
I fantastic day of Geli Printing at Artstart studios . The class was well run , really enjoyable and perfectly timed . We all learnt so much both from Kirsten and everyone else on the course . I would highly recommend.
This class run by Kirsten combines everything I wanted in an art class, as someone who has not really painted since Art A Level - and never used oils. The atmosphere is very relaxed (helped by some excellent background music in my humble opinion), the guidance is there where you need it but not overly critical or intrusive - Kirsten pushes her students with just the right amount of encouragement and valuable instruction. Above all, while it's totally absorbing it's also proved to be tremendous fun. I can't rate ArtStart's adult painting class highly enough for anyone who wants to paint - whether skilled or a complete novice.
Highly recommended! My daughter has been going to Kirsten's ArtStart classes for over a year now. She always looks forward to them, and comes home with the most amazing creative things. It is a joy to see her creations and hear about how they were made. "We have lots of fun and Kirsten is a really good teacher"
I booked a Rainbow and Star T shirt making party for my 8 year old daughter . It was AMAZING! Kirsten led the activity so well and the designs and final product looked brilliant. All the girls were delighted with what they had achieved and now want their own T shirt making parties ! Thanks Kirsten for providing a great party venue and session . Would thoroughly recommend
"It's absolutely the best thing in the world!" - Isaac, age 5¾ ArtStart has been a fantastic class for our child. He returns from each lesson buzzing and inspired to apply what he learned to new projects at home. It's been great to see the variety of methods and subject matter covered in the classes.
My daughters have loved the after school art classes with Kirsten over the years and have enjoyed experimenting with lots of different artistic techniques. A particular favourite of mine were these birds they made. Kirsten's enthusiasm for her subject is very apparent and she clearly puts a lot of work into planning and delivering inspiring lessons.
My daughter Coco has been doing Kirsten’s art classes for 4 years and absolutely loves them! Kirsten is an inspirational teacher who not only teaches the practical side of art but the background and history of art and artists too. Her classes are really fun and relaxed and Coco is always so excited about the work they produce.
