Our drawing and painting classes offer you ‘hands on’ skills with support on paper, canvas, collage or any other material, whilst we are also able to offer you the opportunity to be creative on CAD programmes such as the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) and 3D Design software through booking onto one of our CAD courses. The CAD classes are suitable for beginners and intermediate computer classes can be offered too.

Specific drawing and painting bespoke programs can be designed to meet your needs, please enquire. Prior booking is essential in order to guarantee a place in the group. Our art classes vary in size depending on the specialist art and design workshop you have booked. The environment is intimate and friendly whilst receiving quality mentoring and delivery that can meet everyone’s learning needs. This drawing and painting course is suitable for complete beginners to advanced level.

3D CAD programs help you explore design ideas, visualise concepts, and simulate how designs will perform in the real world. 3D CAD models are used to shape ideas, determine dimensions, create visual renders, technical drawings and templates to produce industrial products. Allowing you to visualise and communicate your design ideas, CAD programs can be used for a wide range of applications in architecture, fashion, product design, graphic design and packaging, interior design, animation and much more. We will cover step by steps in how to create 3D models using Rhinoceros 3D (typically abbreviated to Rhino) which is a 3D computer graphics and computer aided design software which focuses on producing mathematically precise representation of curves and freeform surfaces.

Rhino is used in processes of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), rapid prototyping, 3D printing and reverse engineering in industries including architecture, industrial design (e.g. automotive design, watercraft design), product design (e.g. jewellery design) as well as for multimedia and graphic design.

On this series of CAD workshops you will start by learning the interface of the software and the various commands, designing 2D drawings of the object with the scale and proportions to then elevate the drawing into 3D and create the surfaces. We will then focus on applying materials and create renderings as well as technical drawings.
