Cambridge Art Class

About the workshops
We’re a welcoming group of artists, open to all levels — complete beginners included. Each term we explore different drawing materials and techniques in a fun, supportive atmosphere.

Classes start with simple warm-ups to get you drawing straight away, and you’ll discover new ways of seeing and making marks with confidence. The focus is on learning by doing — and enjoying the process.

Workshops are led by local artist Jayne Ruffell-Ward. Bring your own paper and materials if you can — but don’t worry, there’s a lending box you can borrow from too.

Spring term 2026 - 10 workshops

In our first 5 workshops we are going to enjoy learning skills that will enable us to see how to draw a face, these will help you to feel confident and enjoy the challenge of drawing people. It's the perfect way to learn to draw and all the skills you learn are transferable. We will draw with interesting materials like tippex pen (see the last image below). In the last 5 workshops we will continue with the theme 'Being Human' introducing colour and some playful techniques to build confidence. It's all about building skills and the enjoyment of making a mark.

Do ask if you have any questions at all.
