What our artists say…

  • Monday classes at Mossley Hill are great. Everyone is friendly and supportive. Toc and Paul give lots of helpful advice and are full of inspiring ideas. It's a lovely start to the week.

  • Can highly recommend trying out some of these classes at LIAS. The teaching is so motivating and feedback is supportive and constructive.

  • I have only recently started to attend the Rose Lane art group but I find the classes to be very friendly, informal and educational. The instructors are highly skilled and enthusiastic. It has already taught me new ways of looking at, and doing, art. I would thoroughly recommend LIAS and look forward to attending other activities with them in the future.

  • Membership of Patreon during lockdown was a real lifeline enabling me to maintain and develop my art and to remain part of a community of artists. Since then, the weekly on line seminars have introduced me to different methods of working and are a valuable source of inspiration. Being able to catch up via a video recording is very useful.
