What is Surrey Art School?
Founded by Artist-teacher Ellie Green (MA Art Ed) in May 2016, Surrey Art School is a Seasonal Art School inspired by Nature and Rooted in Mindfulness.
We believe in the healing powers of creativity and the importance of engaging in a regular creative practice to help us stay anchored to the present moment and to help reduce stress and anxiety.
All our classes beginner-kind and inspired by nature and the seasons and aim to help our students re-establish a connection to nature, the seasons and our true selves.
We foster calm and confidence through our creative learning programme, putting your well-being at the top of the list. Here’s a taste of the gentle mental un-wind you can expect in our Online Classes and In Person Events
Our Ethos
Our classes are beginner-kind, calm and focused, using mindful creativity to 'switch off' from the busy world, slow down and give full attention to our surroundings.
We see being creative as a ‘moving meditation’ - whether we paint, draw or print - we ‘make’ with the intention of slowing down - knowing that both creativity and a connection to nature can help enhance our overall sense of well-being.
We hope one day our classes will be available on prescription!
Our core classes and courses such as Sketchbook Club are now online. We feel that teaching online is kinder to nature and the environment. It also means we can reach out and teach more of you, where-ever you are.
Keep an eye on our Events page for collaborations with local venues that we feel are in tune with our values. What better place to learn about nature through creativity than in nature?
