Learn how to recreate iconic artworks in a supportive and guided environment with our Recreating the Classics: Guided Painting Session workshop.

Each session uses a monthly featured artwork as a reference, providing the chance to explore the original composition, colours, and techniques. You’ll gain a unique insight into how the work was created and practical techniques.

Your tutor will demonstrate step-by-step instructions for recreating the artwork, offering tips and practical substitutions to achieve similar effects, such as using acrylics in place of gold leaf.

There will also be an opportunity to respond to feedback, make adjustments, and view the work of other participants in the class.

Basic materials provided. Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafes. This workshop is suitable for ages 16+.
