The Tuesday Studio: Art Development Programme

January - April 2027 

A creative space to reconnect with art, build confidence and develop your own artistic style.

The Tuesday Studio returns in January 2027.

Whether you've always loved art, haven't picked up a paintbrush in years, or simply want to dedicate more time to your creativity, The Tuesday Studio offers a welcoming and inspiring place to explore.

Led by artist Emily Hancock at Forest Lane Studios in Ringwood, this 10-session programme combines guided creative exercises with time to develop your own artwork. There is no pressure to produce something perfect, follow a particular style or work at the same pace as everyone else. Instead, you'll be encouraged to experiment, discover new techniques and develop confidence in your own creative decisions.

Dates (10 Sessions)

January 2027: 12th, 19th and 26th

February 2027: 2nd and 23rd

March 2027: 2nd and 9th

April 2027: 6th, 13th and 27th

Is The Tuesday Studio For You?

The programme welcomes artists of all abilities, from complete beginners to those with an established creative practice. The Winter programme offers the opportunity to continue developing your skills, explore fresh ideas and build on the creative confidence you've already gained.

If you joined us for the Autumn 2026 term, we'd love to welcome you back!

It's particularly suited to anyone who:

• Loves art but struggles to find time for it.
• Wants to explore different materials and techniques.
• Feels creatively stuck or lacks confidence.
• Would enjoy developing their own projects with professional guidance.
• Values spending time with like-minded people in a supportive studio environment.

You don't need to arrive with a plan or a particular level of experience. Just a willingness to explore.

What Happens Each Tuesday?

Each three-hour session offers a balance of guided learning, independent creativity and individual support.

9:30am - Welcome and Studio Time

Throughout the programme, you'll have opportunities to explore drawing, colour, composition, texture, mark-making, acrylics, ink, pastels, collage and mixed media.

What Will You Gain?

A Note From Emily

"I believe creativity is something we all deserve to make time for, whatever our experience or ability.

The Tuesday Studio is about giving yourself the freedom to experiment, make mistakes, discover new ideas and grow in confidence.

My aim isn't to teach you to create art that looks like mine. It's to help you discover your own artistic voice, develop your skills and enjoy the process along the way.

I can't wait to welcome you into the studio for a new creative year."

Join The Tuesday Studio this January and make 2027 the year you give your creativity the time it deserves.
