Hampstead School of Art

Surprised to read these positive reviews. I enrolled for a term and I felt I wasted 300 - I didn't learn much and the teacher was unprofessional. They do not allow you to have a free trial, and I can see why. My experience might be due to the teacher. He acted like he hated his job and was bitter about life and his career. He kept talking about himself and showed little interest in his students and their development. I'd like to question his skills too as he would give advice that made no sense - such as that we should only paint really fast, like Monet would. I give 2 stars because he was occasionally funny and the building is good. I would not go back, save your money (or research the class and teacher you pick!)

This used to be a charming Victorian house with the souls of many artists. Unfortunately it had to change into a modernised block thanks to the signature we all gathered (because the developed wanted to close it up). It is an asset to the community. More clarity in its management would be beneficial.

Superb Art Gallery with very good lighting and a great cafe. The Artwork on display at the moment is by Atsuko Saito who is a very accomplished Japanese artist living in London. Really precise beautiful paintings.

Choose the right course and you won't be disappointed. You'll struggle. You'll swear. You'll wonder how people can do it. But persevere and you'll have an experience that's priceless. I started here when I retired and despite some setbacks, I've loved it. Keeps you alive and stretched.
