Prepping for this week’s pastel / dancer classes. Obvious thing to say perhaps but I always teach better when I’ve reminded myself of the little details, methodically worked through the steps and given myself a little confidence boost on a Sunday afternoon! Great excuse to take an hour for myself before the week begins and take time to do what I love!

📣📣📣 New renter alert!📣📣📣
Here on we are delighted to introduce joannaspragg_art from Escape2Art who leaves and breathes colour everyday with her stunning art.

Jo’s work is a visual delight of pastel shades with bright primary pops of colour with gorgeous ombré blends.
Here is a little bit about her 🎨

Joanna started Escape2Art in 2016 to share her love of art and its benefits with as many people as possible. She has always loved the creative process and was keen to involve people in her journey. ‘Friendly flexible and affordable art’ is what Escape2Art is all about whether it’s encouraging people to have a go via the art classes or enabling people to have artwork on their walls in a financially affordable way. Jo is determined that the artistic process shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg and that art should be accessible by all.

Jo is particularly fond of painting landscapes, especially of the local woods and our nature reserves but colourful abstracts are becoming a passion too as several large commissions of late demonstrate. Original paintings start at just £50 each, limited edition prints at just £20 and all her art is available here through the website shop.

Jo and her team at escape2art also run art classes in Farnham & Haslemere for adults and kids with art events available too. Easy booking on the website :
https://www.escape2art.co.uk/

Jo can be found upstairs in both rooms, please come and see her incredible talent for yourself 😃

Sitting here on a rainy day thinking of wonderful topics to do next term - tell me what you've loved painting or drawing lately....

What better way to spend a rainy morning. Two gorgeous hours of painting with this lot 🤗 Gouache Under the Sea scenes this week in all venues.

NEW KIDS ART CLASS:
Due to huge demand in recent months the team at Escape2Art have decided to add another children's art class to our weekly programme. Our small super relaxed classes are a really wonderful way for kids to practise and learn new skills and our weekly rotation of themes and materials ensure they develop confidence and technical ability across the creative spectrum.

Liza Cunningham will teach from her house in Hale, Farnham from 13th September. This class will be for children in (school) years 6&7 approx and run for 13 weeks.

Please message or call me (Jo) for more info or see the website:

We have 3 spaces in our very popular and competitively priced 'After School Art' classes Mondays 4.30-6pm in Shortheath, Farnham. Taught by Jo, Artist and owner of Escape2Art this exciting new programme of classes starts 12th September and runs for 13 weeks. Having just split a previously age diverse group I'm looking to keep this class for school years 8 & 9 ideally so I can offer some more focused and age appropriate techniques.
