Hampshire Art Studio’s co-owner, Clare Dryden, said: “We’re really looking forward to this autumn and winter’s programme, offering something for the beginner and more established artist and taught by our tutors who are all eminent in their field of practise, but encouraging and understanding.

“We’re especially thinking of beginners this term, it’s a time when people might find themselves in changed circumstances perhaps with kids going off to university, starting school or nursery or people just wanting a new challenge as we end the summer and head towards winter.

“We think we’ve put together our best seasonal offering ever.”
