A New Chapter for Patchings Art School

For over 30 years, Patchings has been a home for learning — from weekend painting courses to life drawing workshops and children’s summer schools, taught by experienced tutors in our studios and galleries. As part of Vantom Village, we’re putting together a refreshed programme of classes and workshops for artists of every level.

Full details, dates and booking will appear here shortly. In the meantime, register your interest below and we’ll let you know the moment classes open for enrolment.
