the art room
The art room is a weekly, term-time art class in Linlithgow for creative young people. Each term, we explore a different theme, introducing students to a variety of artists, techniques, and materials.
Students work with a broad range of drawing and painting materials, including watercolours, acrylics, charcoal, and soft pastels and are introduced to sketchbook work. They also have the opportunity to experiment with 3D art techniques such as clay building, sculpting and textiles.
A focus on experimentation encourages students to develop confidence in their unique artistic voice while building both skill and self-assurance. A deliberately small class size means lots of individual tuition in a supportive and relaxed environment. The two-hour session allows plenty of time to explore and experiment without feeling rushed.
​
High quality art materials are provided. There is a short break halfway through for a snack and drink.
We meet on Mondays at Maisie Gray Pottery Studio, Unit 3, Braehead Business Units, Linlithgow, EH49 6EP.
JUNIOR ARTROOM- 3.30-5.30 pm
Suitable for children aged 7 - 12.
​
Cost: £20 per session

​
​The junior art room is designed for younger children who love to explore creativity through hands-on art projects. Each term, students are introduced to different artists, styles, and techniques while experimenting with a variety of materials, from traditional drawing and painting to 3D art forms like clay and textiles.
​
With a strong emphasis on play and discovery, this class encourages young artists to express themselves freely while building fundamental artistic skills. Each week we will explore a new artist or creative challenge and have plenty of time to get to grips with new techniques and materials before we dive into making a more finished piece.
The relaxed, supportive setting helps children gain confidence in their own creative voice, and the small group size ensures plenty of individual guidance and support.

In the class for older children and young people, the most obvious difference is the change in pace.
As children get older, they want to understand art techniques more fully and need the opportunity to explore them at their own pace.
To accomodate this, we no longer create an art work each session but work towards creating several pieces over the course of the term. Each term has a particular focus or theme and this allows plenty of time to dig into the resources and get to grips with some of the more technical aspects of art making while continuing to be playful and curious.
We explore many mediums over the course of the year, including painting, drawing, sculpting, mixed media and textiles.All the materials are artist grade and the small class size means that the environment is calm and allows for plenty of individual tuition.
The same focus on creating a relaxed and supportive environment really encourages risk taking, exploration and a greater understanding of their own artistic voice.
