Art Classes for Adults

Life Drawing Classes with Adele Wagstaff

An opportunity to develop your drawing skills and abilities, working with a model. This mixed ability class is suitable for anyone; previous experience of life drawing is not necessary, although some general drawing experience is desirable. The class is held in the bright and airy Activity Room within Tandridge Leisure Centre.

About the Artist: Adele trained at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and the Slade School of Fine Art. She continues to focus on the observed in her work and the human form; portrait and everyday objects found around us are her inspiration. Adele was shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2005 and the BP Portrait Award in 2006. She has exhibited her work in many galleries including the National Portrait Gallery and exhibits regularly with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. Adele is currently Artist in Residence of the Rehearsal Orchestra in London and Edinburgh working on a series of portraits of players with their instruments and studies of the figure in movement.

Life Drawing will recommence with two, five week, courses in the Autumn/Winter Term.

Art Classes for Children

Art and Craft Workshops for 5-8 year olds

We offer art and craft workshops both during term time and in the school holidays for 5-8 year olds at Tandridge Leisure Centre, Oxted. Our experienced art teacher Julia Thomas explores many different aspects of arts and crafts with the children, from making your own bedroom door sign or creating beautiful giant summer flowers, dream catchers and wind chimes, to making your own personalised pencil case ready for the return to school.
Children learn techniques and get to use materials that they probably wouldn’t experience at school or home and there is no clearing up for parents either!
