Our Courses
Overview
Studio Arts Liverpool has been running since Spring 2015 and offers Art Classes for all levels of ability. We encourage all students to develop their skills so that they have the confidence and ability to create their own independent artwork. To this end we teach basic skills in drawing and painting while encouraging an imaginative and creative response to their own ideas. It is organised and taught by Frank Linnett & Mary Freeney both of whom are now retired Art Teachers having run a very successful Art Department for over twenty years in a Liverpool secondary school.
Frank is also a very successful artist who has exhibited both nationally & internationally. His work can be seen on Dotart.
We are able to offer Drawing, Painting & Printmaking to all levels of ability and are also happy to give tuition to younger students trying to improve their portfolios for examinations or entry into college.
Our Classes
Our classes are held at The Bridewell Studios in Prescot Street Liverpool. Both daytime & evening classes are on offer and students attend for 2 - 4hrs depending on personal commitments.
Courses are organised with a particular theme which is published in advance to allow for some personal research. This enables our students to explore ideas and in turn, develop their own unique piece of artwork.
Each week classes start with a taught session of drawing or reinforcement of a particular technique.
Beginners are actively encouraged whilst those with more experience may wish to embark on their own work with a greater degree of independence, either way guidance and tuition is given.
At the end of the taught session students then continue with the development of their own work.
The recent acquisition of a printing press has extended our teaching to include Collagraphs and drypoint Etching.
Celebrating achievement
At the end of each course students exhibit their work in the Bridewell Studios Gallery. To date we have had extremely successful exhibitions where every student exhibits between at least one and three pieces of work and three of our students have sold paintings.
We have an opening night with refreshments which makes for a very sociable evening.
