Northlight Art School Weekday Courses

Summer Term 2025

We will be offering an 8 week Summer Term 2025 starting Monday 28th April and ending Friday 27th June with a half-term week Monday 25th to Friday 29th May.
Our courses roll over term by term and we expect a lot of returning students. However, please contact us via email or phone if you are interested in any course as there may well be space and if not we have waiting lists. This term we are starting a new Textiles class on Tuesday afternoons teaching basic techniques for total beginners. And there is also a series of Weekend Workshops and Summer Schools

Course fee payments: If you are booked onto a class starting in April you will get an email in early April advising about payment, which should be done using BACS transfer if this is possible.

As a self funding not for profit organisation we try to keep course fees as low as possible whilst still affording the cost of building overheads, wages and materials.
