The light and airy Studio provides the ideal setting for the regular classes
and workshops which are a popular feature of the programme
at The Slade Centre.

Talented fine artist and experienced teacher, Elaine Collett, runs regular Art Classes in The Studio at The Slade Centre. The weekly classes offer opportunities to develop individual creativity through experimentation using a wide range of media. Mark-making, colour, texture, scale and composition are explored as well as use of different tools and materials. Sessions are informal, friendly and supportive, and new members may join at any time. Classes take place weekly on Wednesdays throughout the year.

The well-established Wednesday morning class is dynamic, experimental and thought-provoking. Participants are encouraged to engage with and evaluate important creative concepts, and to explore both contemporary and historical art practice. Life drawing is included each half term. This class is particularly, but not exclusively, suited to those with some experience. Sessions are friendly, supportive and fun. All are welcome and new members may join at any time.

For more information on the classes please contact Elaine Collettt directly on 01258 472844, or by email emcollett@hotmail.com.

In addition to these regular classes, The Slade Centre offers one and two day workshops in a variety of subjects including printmaking, bookbinding, drawing and painting, felt making and a range of textile techniques including lampshade making.
