About the Class

Explore the building blocks of abstraction through art elements, spatial structure, and layered techniques.

This course offers a thoughtful and hands-on approach to creating exciting abstract work, with a focus on texture, variation, and visual interest.

Along the way, we’ll explore both historical influences and current trends in abstraction, helping to give context and confidence to your creative decisions.

Ideal for intermediate and more experienced artists, this class is perfect for those wanting to deepen their understanding of abstraction while developing their own creative voice in a supportive and inspiring studio environment.

Classes are charged at R550 per class, with fees calculated according to the number of classes remaining in the current term. If you join after the term has started, your fee will automatically be adjusted on a pro rata basis, so you only pay for the remaining classes.

Payment Options

• Pay in 2 instalments – Pay your first instalment online to secure your place. The remaining balance will be invoiced by the studio.
• Pay in full – Pay the full balance upfront.

Your booking reserves your place for the remainder of the current term.

Class sizes are intentionally small and places are limited. If your preferred class is fully booked, please contact us to join the waitlist.

Missed Classes

We totally get that life gets in the way sometimes, and while we would love to run make up classes for each class, it’s really hard to find gaps in the timetable to do that so we have come up with a plan!

Each member will get 2 free tokens to use during the time for any other (suitable) class to use if they have missed a class. This a great way to explore other mediums too! We just ask that if you have missed a class to make use of one by mid term and one in the 2nd half of the term so we can ensure you get your class of choice and space out class numbers (keeping to max 12 per class). Please reach out to Georgina to arrange and make sure the class you want to do is suitable for your skill level and that there is space in that class. We will remind everyone on our class groups when term starts. Happy Painting!
