THE ACADEMY
The Academy is a collection of accredited courses compiled by the Schoolhouse for Art to provide intensive learning opportunities in the Visual Arts.
The ATELIER, the CORNERSTONE, the PATH and COPYING THE MASTERS provides 4 individual opportunities for in-depth practise & study to further develop your art skills under the direction of our artist tutors.
ATELIER
The rigour of an atelier. The flexibility of a gym membership. For centuries, the atelier method produced the greatest artists in Western tradition – but it always demanded a fixed schedule and full‑time commitment. We changed that. The Schoolhouse for Art now offers the same proven, sequential training in classical drawing and painting, taught by atelier‑trained professionals William Nathans and Nicholas Robinson, with flexible booking options that fit your life. Drop in. Commit monthly. Or join the annual programme. Real skill, built over time – on your terms.
the CORNERSTONE
A 10 month (140 accredited hrs) in-depth exploration of the essentials of drawing & painting.
In-studio practical modules and online theory classes. Course director Bairbre Duggan with tutors Sinead Lawless, Dave West,
Nicholas Robinson and Alan Clarke.
the PATH
12 weekly classes (36 accredited hrs) with Sinead Lawless.
A thorough study of process and technique in landscape, still-life & portraiture.
