Art Workshops

At Townhouse we run a programme of one-day and weekend art workshops led by visiting artists and illustrators. These are relaxed, materials-led sessions designed to help you explore painting, drawing, printmaking and mark-making in a focused but friendly environment.

Our programme includes both full-day workshops and shorter beginner classes. Most sessions are suitable for complete beginners, and everything you need on the day is provided. Upcoming dates are listed below and can be booked online through our art schedule.
