NEWLYN SCHOOL OF ART
Newlyn School of Art was founded by Henry GARFIT and opened in September 2011 in the heart of the famous artistic colony of Newlyn. Located in the Old Board School, Chywoone Hill, the School offers courses in a wide variety of media such as oil painting, printmaking, drawing, stone carving and professional development. The courses are led by over 30 of the most respected and experienced artists working in Cornwall today.
Many of the short courses take place on the dramatic Cornish coastline nearby. Longer part-time courses are held over six two-day sessions across a 12-month period. These include the Defining Practice course, Studio Practice course, Mentoring Programme, Professional Landscape Programme and The Figure.
In addition, pre-recorded short courses are available online, as is an archive of online life drawing sessions.
