Adult Group Lessons
A Personalised Learning Experience
Our adult classes form a community of art lovers on the same path to finding joy and fulfilment in art-making.
It’s never too late for you to pick up a new skill, or revisit a childhood passion! That’s what adult learners soon discover through our flexible, open-studio format of classes. Our teaching artists will work closely with you to build drawing and painting skills, and are always on hand to provide instruction, assistance and inspiration while you work on a project of your choice.
To date, we have welcomed over 3000 satisfied learners to the Fort Family who continue to grow their personal journeys in visual art. Read what they have to share about their experience with us here!
We offer two programmes for adults:
Explore, plan and create at your own pace, developing intuition essential for making personal and meaningful art in this student directed lesson.
Master a specific medium in a comprehensive and progressive course through theory and exercises that can be adapted to your interests.
