The Art School Chester
Art and pottery classes for every age
How it started
Kate, a qualified art teacher, started The Art School in March 2018, in the garage at home. She believed art education should be inspiring, welcoming and something you can enjoy at every stage of life. From those small beginnings it has grown into a family-run independent art school, now on the first floor of our building on Eastgate Row.
How they can help you
Small, friendly classes for kids, teens and adults, taught by qualified art teachers. Whether your child wants to build real art skills, you’re picking up a brush for the first time since school, or you want to try the pottery wheel, there’s a class for you. Their teachers are DBS-checked, and they’re an official Arts Award Centre.
