Laraine runs art classes all year from mid to early February until mid December. Classes run through all other school holidays but not public hollidays and parents or grandparents can bring their arty children along to paint with them during these holidays.

Art classes are open to all ages and abilities, male or female – everyone brings all their own equipment including a cover for their table and a coffee mug.
Oil painters please use non toxic mediums not low odour turps.

Tea or coffee supplied as well as some biscuits.

Laraine teaches oils and acrylics – students are asked to bring a photo (anything – their choice) they can paint from memory or photos or books to resource ideas from can be supplied. Exercises for students are not set unless they ask for them and Laraine teaches them as they go at what ever they want to paint.

If students are not sure what medium they wish to use, Laraine can supply either oils or acrylics for them to try if she is contacted to request this.
