The Seasons Art Class, Congleton
“Being retired i found i had time on my hands and decided to get into art. Since school (where I didn't do well in art) I have only created one small watercolour and 3 drawings so as I'm a real beginner I took the plunge with Seasons Art in Congleton. Very glad I did - it's very well run by Steph and Alison and the course material was well thought out. You have to provide paper, pencils, ruler, eraser yourself but paints and pastels are supplied in abundance in class - as are tea, coffee and biscuits to help you through. Alison is lovely and an excellent teacher and very good at all the media. Steph also is lovely (never without her signature beaming smile) and provides all of the materials. Alison demonstrates the techniques etc by projecting her phone onto a huge screen making it easy to understand. She is quick to answer questions and to advise on anything you're struggling with. So I can heartily recommend the class if you're contemplating joining - it's a fantastic introduction to art amongst a group of like minded folk (my class were lovely and we had some great laughs). My only tiny criticism is that being a slow learner I would have liked a little more time on the real basics - but hey there's a lot to pack into 14 classes and I'm very proud of the work that I produced.”
