Join us for 1 hour and 45 minutes of learning and creating art. There will be breaks throughout to refresh and recharge. Please arrive 5 minutes before the class start time.

We’ve got you covered with all the essential supplies! Just bring a willingness to learn, and we’ll handle the rest! A note of caution: paints can stain clothing, so be mindful. If you’re a little messy, best to wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on. But don’t worry, watercolour paint can usually be washed out easily.

During our trial art classes, our maximum class size will range from 8 to 12 students. This will offer the ideal learning environment and better cater for students as we are starting up.

Our specially curated classes are ideal for beginners but welcomes experienced artists too. There is no expectation to be good at art, or even to have ever created art before. All you need is willingness to learn!

We currently offer card payments via stripe; payments are made at the time of booking. We accept VISA, Mastercard and Amex.

The Thames Art Academy came about as a solution to the lack of activities for local residents in Staines upon Thames. We entered the idea into the Spelthorne Business Plan Competition in 2023, and won the first runner-up prize. This has allowed us to start operating as providing a creative outlet for locals.
