What Students Are Saying

”Starting classes at the Art School, Ilkley was the best thing I did. Wednesday evenings is time just for me. Time to ponder, time to create, time to get messy and time to have fun. I highly recommend Ilkley Art School to anyone who just wants a bit of me time..”

— Adult Student

“I really enjoy coming to your classes and you have both helped me produce work which I am very pleased with. Thanks for you help putting together portfolio for my application to Leeds Arts University and for the reference”

— Young Artist

“The creative energy from John & Sarah fills the room. We are encouraged to explore new ways of seeing & making marks on paper. It's about enjoying the process which I love. When I leave their workshop I always feel more creative & energised than when I walked in.”
