With global accessibility in mind, we offer a morning and an afternoon session for our Summer Art & Design Taster Courses, allowing students from different parts of the world to join in and participate. For instance, those in Asia time zones may find the morning session ideal as an after-school activity, whereas students in US time zones may prefer the afternoon session to start their day off with creative activities.

Our course dates are tailored to fit in with UK school holidays. Students who are keen on maximising their learning during their break are welcome to book both the morning and afternoon sessions, with the goal of extending the knowledge and skills learnt in the morning and developing this further in the afternoon session.

We currently provide an online-only structure for our taster courses, ensuring flexibility and convenience for students. This gives you the freedom to draw from your surroundings, whether it be objects and photographs from home, memories, or your imagination, all from the comfort of your own home.
