The autumn term at Phoenix Art Space kicks off this September. Explore your creative side with a variety of painting, print, sculpture or making courses, programmed for both complete beginners and those with more experience.

We’ve also got some new courses this term which we’re very excited about –

During this one day course, you will learn how to make a Greek vase from the beginning to end. You will be introduced to hand-building techniques and we will use them to create the structure and form.

Accessible Photography 
This course will transform your skills from just taking a photo to creating an image and reshaping how you see things. Throughout the six sessions, you will use your smart phone to explore photographing different objects; learn how to compose and edit your images on your phone; and use artistic research to guide your image making.
