Art has been shown to benefit people of all ages. Research indicates art can improve communication and concentration and can help reduce feelings of isolation.
Therapeutic Art Classes has also been shown to lead to increases in self-esteem, confidence, and self-awareness. Fiona's art sessions at Sunnyside Art House are one on one allowing students to have Fiona's full attention.
Each art activity is chosen by the student as it is important that the student is doing something that they enjoy and find relaxing. There are no wrong ways in art and Fiona encourages students.
To try new things and enjoy the process of making rather than concentrating on the end result. There are many art activities to choose from including Pottery, Mosaic, Painting (acrylics & watercolour), Textiles and Drawing.
If you just want to have a try and are not ready for our short-term classes, then our taster classes are best for you! Within two hours you will learn the skills of basic wheel throwing and make two works on the wheels.
Making (throwing) pots on the pottery wheel is a bit of a process its a good idea to book at least 2 wheel classes * they don't have to be consecutive.
Our pottery classes are held weekly with this new term running for seven weeks (instead of our usual eight weeks due to potentially moving studios!!), covering all the skills required to bring a ball of clay to life on the potter's wheel
Slapping out slabs of clay can produce fabulous platters by hand, curls up the edges to create a rim, using bowls as molds and decorating surface treatment creates beautiful salad bowls and a couple of pinch pots with spoons for salt and pepper. No experience needed to make your food and table come
Lay the foundations for the art of creating ceramics using a pottery wheel; start your journey with building basic skills and throwing basic shapes that will later on be fired and glazed by us for you to be proud of and enjoy for years to come!
