Art with Hannah

Hello, I'm Hannah, and the only thing I love even more than making art is helping others to make art.

I'm a qualified art teacher with 20 years' experience teaching adults and children of all ages and abilities. My approach is a tried-and-tested mix of structure (learning the 'rules') and experimentation (breaking them again!)

About me

Courses

Your artistic journey begins with your first course – I'd suggest enrolling in the next due to start. Each course builds on the last and alternates between mediums, so over time you'll develop skills and make huge progress in both drawing and painting.
At first, many students say 'I can't draw' or even 'don't expect much from me!' It’s amazing to see them go on to create artwork they're proud of, sometimes starting from that very first lesson.
If you'd like to learn to draw or paint, or just long for a more creative life, check out my courses and workshops below!

- Paul Worthley

”Hannah’s courses are a must. I really look forward to my Tuesday afternoons – a great way to meet new people, learn a new skill and have a chat over a cuppa.”

- Sarah Tuck

”I signed up for the Learn to Draw class as I genuinely couldn't draw a thing. Thank you Hannah for showing me the basics so now at least my grandchildren have a vague idea of what I'm drawing!

Testimonials

"Hannah is the most excellent teacher, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is patient, approachable, and professional, and her huge knowledge enables her to teach in a multitude of mediums. She has a sense of humour and she always finds a ‘touch of genius’, even in what I think is the worst work I’ve created! "
- Lila, East Sussex
"Hannah came in to run a drawing workshop for us and really went above and beyond what I was expecting. Hannah is a very encouraging and calm presence and even the people who said ‘I can’t draw’ at the start of the session went on to produce some really great drawings."
- Jen, Portslade
"I first met Hannah in April 2022 – first time painting for over 40 years and first time in a classroom. My skills, knowledge, confidence and enjoyment have all greatly expanded thanks to Hannah. My family and friends are so happy for me with my renewed passion for art, and best of all, I am selling my art now, for the first time!"
- Margaretha, West Sussex
"The drawing class with Hannah was a lot of fun. Not only was it great company and a relaxing atmosphere, but as someone who doesn't draw as much as I'd like I really enjoyed Hannah's warm up exercises and insights into different techniques and approaches. Would 100% recommend."

- Joe, Brighton
