Summer Exhibition Opportunity
We are really looking forward to the Summer Exhibition in London. Not only has our daughter had the opportunity to believe that she can take part in something like this so young, she has also designed/ collaborated with another member of her class forging a new friendship! Art-K have kept us informed of all their upcoming events and shared details, staff are always taking time for a chat after class. There is excellent email/ message communication and we truly appreciate that the money we spend with them wholly benefits our child. Art-K offers the development of skills that we sought and a safe, social outlet for our teenage daughter to thrive as a young person. Thank you again!

Hi Chloe, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much your daughter has thrived with us, from developing her technical skills to building new friendships by collaborating with her peers. Hearing that she feels safe and supported means the world to our staff. We are just as excited to see the upcoming 'Wild at Art' Exhibition at Londons OXO gallery and see her work on display! Thank you again for being a valued part of our art-K community. Thank you from Luna & Corinne

Wonderful
My 8yr old daughter absolutely LOVES her Art-K sessions in Southville, Bristol
The teachers are all patient & knowledgeable, they have encouraged her to try so many different techniques & she is always incredibly proud of her resulting artworks.
We couldn't be happier with it & can't see us stopping any time soon!!

That is amazing to hear and thank you so much for sharing. It is great to see how "B" works and develops from the plan to the final piece. They always look so alike which is lovely to see. I adored her clay bowl with the cabin, waterfall and butterfly. Well done :) I look forward what she does next term, I also feel that she has come out of her shell a lot more and more confident in her whole persona in delivering her ideas to final pieces and confidence interracting with others too :) which is lovely to see. Thank you :)
Great weekend and evening activity for kids
The staff are always supportive and encouraging of the children and their projects; and their positivity is infectious. The children learn many different techniques through a surprisingly wide range of different projects, and it's always amazing to see what they've done each week. Art-K is the highlight of our child's week!

Every Saturday she’s excited to go, it’s so rewarding for her. Thea, Catherine and the team are dedicated to providing a great learning and fun experience for the children, whilst helping them to expand their creativity and imagination.

Fantastic art workshop
My son really enjoyed the Saturday morning class this term. He has always enjoyed drawing but the class has allowed him to test out new techniques and materials and he has created some fantastic acrylic paintings. Would certainly recommend Art K.

Inspiring
I really enjoy the approach in the adult groups of helping you develop as you want. It's a lot more student-centred than many other classes. People in the group work on a whole range of media, topics and styles. Thea and her team have lots of projects to inspire and guide you, or you can do your own thing at your own pace. I came to Art-K by chance; I've stayed for 18 months.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jacqueline. ❤️
It’s been such a joy having you in class over the last two terms and I’ve loved watching your confidence grow. You created such a beautiful painting with the palette knife this term, and I hope you’re truly proud of what you achieved. It was wonderful to see you embrace the technique and bring your own creativity into your work.
I’m so happy that the classes feel like a relaxing and therapeutic space for you. That’s exactly the atmosphere we hope to create.
Thank you for your trust and for being such a lovely part of the Art K family. I’m so excited that you’ve booked another term and I can’t wait to see what you create next!

Creative and supportive Art classes
I've had such a great experience at art-k Clapham!! Zainab is an amazing teacher who creates a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, no matter your skill level. I've learned so much in her classes and always look forward to my next session. I highly recommend art-k Clapham to anyone who wants to improve their skills or simply explore their creativity in a friendly and supportive environment.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Paouela.
I absolutely love seeing all the amazing watercolour paintings you’ve been creating at home. It’s been wonderful to see your creativity continue beyond the class and how much joy you put into your work.
I remember you were a little sceptical about your painting at first, but your painting is now one of the brightest pieces in the studio! I can’t wait to see you finish it and see the final result.
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of Art-K Clapham. It’s always a pleasure having you in class, and I look forward to seeing what you create next.

Can’t recommend Cat enough!
We couldn’t recommend Cat at art-K highly enough!
Our daughter absolutely loves attending her classes each week and looks forward to every session. Cat is such a kind, patient and encouraging teacher, creating a relaxed, welcoming environment where every child feels confident to express themselves and develop their creativity.
The classroom is always happy, inspiring and inviting, and it’s wonderful to see how much care and enthusiasm Cat puts into every lesson.
Most importantly, our daughter’s artistic skills have improved remarkably since joining art-K. The progress she has made in both her confidence and technique has been incredible, and we’re so proud of what she creates.
Thank you, Cat, for making art so enjoyable and for inspiring young artists every week. We feel very lucky to have found such a fantastic teacher!

Thank you so much for your lovely review.
Billie is an absolute delight to have in the class. I always love seeing her imagination come to life and the wonderful stories behind her creations. One of my favourite things is how she names her masterpieces, it adds such a special and unique touch to every piece she makes.
Her “Spikamander” is definitely one that has stayed in my memory; such a creative and imaginative artwork! I can’t wait to welcome Billie back to class and see what amazing creations she comes up with next.
Thank you for your kind words and for trusting us to be part of her creative journey.

Thea and Catherine are a great team
Thea and Catherine are a great team. They are both always ready to give advice and guidance. You are made to feel very welcome from the moment you set foot inside the studio. They both always offer encouragement even when you think that your work is not going the way you want. I have been going for just over a year now and have been able to try various types of media. I look forward to my Tuesday evenings.

Hi S- Thank you so much for your wonderful review! This has been very heartwarming to read and we are both so glad that you feel so happy in our classes- that's all we could ask for !!

I find attending the sessions at art-k to be very inspiring and beneficial. I learned new watercolour and ink painting techniques and media giving me the opportunity to be very expressive. I found the group to be a great distraction from daily life and the staff super supportive and kind with great advice and encouragement. There was plenty of space if I needed it and I really enjoyed all the sessions I attended.
