ILFORD ART CLASSES for Adults
WELCOME TO BRIGHT ARTS STUDIO
We run weekly mixed media art classes for adults in my art studio located in Ilford, Essex. If you’re someone who loves to express yourself creatively or is simply eager to try something new and exciting, I’ve got a spot with your name on it. 😊
These art classes are all about diving into the vibrant world of mixed media art. With mixed media, the possibilities are endless. It's the perfect way to wake up your inner artist and explore your creativity. The best part? You don’t need any prior art experience to join us. All you need is a bit of curiosity and the enthusiasm to learn something new.
I truly believe that each one of us has a creative spark just waiting to be ignited. So, even if you’ve never painted or worked with art materials before, don’t worry. You might just surprise yourself with what you can create.
Picture yourself spending quality ME time each week surrounded by colors, textures, and a group of like-minded creatives. It’s more than just an art class. It’s an opportunity to embrace your artistic side, let your imagination run wild, and have a whole lot of fun while doing it.
Join us to make art, discover new techniques, and create wonderful memories together.
I usually organize all my classes on a half-term basis. This means that every 5 or 6 weeks, we embark on a new theme and dive into exploring a new medium. The best part? All materials are included, so you just need to bring yourself.

"3 of us ladies of varying artistic abilities attended Marie's Powertex course in June after originally booking it pre-pandemic. It was SO worth the wait!!!!! Firstly, I, as a complete NON-ARTIST attended purely as the chauffeur on the promise of Strudel. Not only did the homemade strudel not disappoint, but Marie unlocked the artist in me and I couldn't get enough, leaving at the end of the afternoon with a piece I am extremely proud of. My mum and our friend Lynn, are both mixed medium crafters and both left feeling inspired. What amazed me was how different all of our pieces were!!! I expected us all to follow Marie's lead and stick to the ideas all around her beautiful studio, and yet we all created something completely unique and learned clever hacks and techniques along the way. Above all, we all left feeling really relaxed - Powertex is quite a therapeutic medium, along with the chit-chat and laughter we all enjoyed as a group of girls, including Marie, who we felt like we'd known for years! We all slept brilliantly that night! Thank you for a truly unique and fantastic experience, Marie. We're looking forward to having another go!" Rayner
