The Seasons Art Class LTD Reviews 

Having had no previous experience in art, I am producing work I am proud to exhibit, in a relaxed, friendly and fun environment with no pressure and I was welcomed and made to feel part of the Group from the first week. Beginners are taught and guided all lesson alongside us Returners by our brilliant resident Artist Alison and we all encourage and help each other to produce work which progresses in standard each week. Our Organiser Steph provides us with a seamlessly run Class, plus’s snacks, and I am still amazed , after 2 years, at what I can do and have many pieces framed. The 3 hours fly by and we can complete projects at home too. I have only missed 2 classes through illness but the instruction video was emailed to me. It is money very well spent.

Creating with the seasons art class was just the ray of light after the dark nights of winter. Joining has given me new enthusiasm for my painting projects. The tutor was both highly skilled and helpful. And the group was warm and welcoming.

Seasons Art Class is the highlight of my week. Steph and Alison bring such great expertise, making every session both inspiring and enjoyable. Their guidance is supportive and encouraging, no matter your skill level, and I always come away having learned something new. A wonderful, creative space I really look forward to every time!

This is my second term, after starting as a newbie last time! Really enjoyed the different techniques and medias that we use to create some lovely artwork. Quite amazed at what ive managed to achieve as ive not done any art since school! Alison is an excellent teacher, very patient and always smiling and positive. Steph is helpful and provides everything we need each week to help us. Would definitely recommend this class as its friendly and suitable for all abilities.

Welcoming, friendly group. Look forward to class every week. Alison our teacher is a talented professional artist and is encouraging, helpful and gives us confidence to tackle different media, techniques and subjects. Steph organises the classes admirably.

Great people teaching amazing art skills. The course covers 4 main forms of art drawing, pastels, watercolour and acrylics.
Our Congleton base is a great venue with plenty of space. We are a very happy social bunch and we enjoy our time at our classes. Thanks to Alison and Steph and everyone who contributes to our sessions.

I have been a student at the Seasons Art class n Congleton for nearly three years. The group is very well run by Stephanie and Alison is a brilliant teacher. I have learned a lot and my art has improved immensely. The camaraderie in the group is terrific. We welcome new members and support each other as we tackle a new challenge every week. Can’t recommend the Congleton group enough

Congleton Seasons is exceptional. I would recommend it to everyone regardless of ability. It is a welcoming space where you can develop your skills and make new friends. Steph is the organisation supremo; the quality of paints and supplies needed for the course are of excellent quality. The course itself is led by award winning artist Alison Stafford, whose enthusiasm and expertise is outstanding. I have been on several courses and enjoyed them all. Even as a returner there is always something new to learn!

I started Seasons Art Classes in Waltham Abbey in 2023 and have to looked back since! It is not just an art class. It’s also a place to meet amazing people and socialise. Everyone is very friendly and supportive. Learning different techniques of drawing and paining in different media is an added bonus. The co-ordinator Anita is amazing. The teachers are very knowledgeable. No two terms are the same. We have different subject matter as well as a variety of techniques to try.
It is an amazing three hours where you can forget your stressful life and just relax. We are given guidelines to try techniques that we have learnt. It is a very relaxing fun environment to learn a skill and make friends. I am very happy to be a part of Seasons Art class.

Great course , learned a lot but again there were a few subjects that I personally thought were a bit of a waste of time but saying that I really enjoyed myself, met some lovely people , Jen is a down to earth teacher and Anita is a lovely person , works very hard and couldn't do enough for you and I wish them all the best for the future

Love my class in Congleton. I have attended for 2 years now and am returning again next term. There is a great variety of techniques, mediums and styles. Great opportunity to try things that probably wouldn't have done otherwise. We are all encouraged and supported so well by Steph and Alison. It is a lovely social atmosphere. Really look forward to each week.

I am thoroughly enjoying this beautiful course. Anita and Jen are amazing teachers. I didn’t ever think I would be able to draw or paint, but with their dedicated guidance, patience, support and knowledge I have achieved some not too bad art! 🤪Our group is so friendly, each one so supportive. We have been very spoilt with delicious 😋 homemade cakes 🍰 I have a busy summer, but really looking forward to joining again in January. I have learnt so much as a new starter and excited to return in the new year. I look at everything so differently now, shades, shadows, colours etc. Thank you Seasons xx

Great value for money, just completed my 1st course at Waltham Abbey. Completely stress free and enjoyable. No pressure to achieve perfection just encouragement and gentle guidance. Ps there’s always cake or biscuits… bonus

I joined season art class in Waltham Abbey 3 years ago and I found every time the class full of surprises in what we are given to produce in our art work. I love especially pencil/graphite as, with no colour, I can produce stunning work and acrylic as is so forgiving and the experience is fulfilling.
The group is also fun. The present teacher is experienced and knowledgeable. The manager is so welcoming and kind to all. But most of all is 3 hours dedicated to myself and doing what I always liked but left closed in the drawer. I've just booked for the next term. Anna

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and have signed up for the next one.
I found it interesting learning to use different mediums and drew and painted things that I probably would not have thought of doing before.
I highly recommend the course.

I started with Seansons Art Class Congleton in Sept 25 as a complete beginner and loved it so much I signed up for the January season. Steph is super organised and helpful and Alison is a great teacher. The lessons are always fun and interesting and often not what you might be expecting.
Would recommend giving it a try if its something you've been thinking about - I think you'll love it!

It had been many years since l had attended any kind of art class. It may feel like a daunting experience turning up on your own and not having a clue what to expect.
I cannot recommend The Seasons Art Class highly enough. If you want to explore your creative site, meet like minded people, have inspiring and caring art teachers, this is the place.
A friendly, welcoming and supportive atmosphere where you will discover many different artists and painting techniques.
Thank you Seasons!

This is my third season at The Seasons Art Class in All Hallows church hall in Allerton. I retired to care for my Mum and so life was busy for a good while but when she passed early in 2025, I had no idea what I was going to do with myself. The class was recommended to me by a friend and even though I live in Ormskirk, West Lancashire, driving over on a Friday morning is the best thing I have ever done.
Ruth and Heather run a very well organised ship. A warm and friendly welcome is always guaranteed and this promotes a morning of art in the most lovely company.
I haven’t drawn or painted since school at 18. At 61, I was a little apprehensive that I would be out of my depth. I need not have worried. With Heathers skilled guidance, encouragement and positive feedback, my confidence has grown and I absolutely love the sessions. I now love all the different methods and techniques and for 3.5 hours, my head rests and I become totally absorbed in the days project.
If life admin gets in the way of being able to attend Ruth sends the work sheets for us to try at home.
There really is nothing to be improved upon and I highly recommend it.
Thank you to both Heather and Ruth for being so wonderful xx

As a journalist and teacher, I found this experience incredibly fulfilling. After many years of working with deadlines, procedures, responsibilities, worksheets, and meticulous planning, it was a pleasure not to have to worry about performance.

I have come to realise that there is an artist within all of us, and the real adventure lies in having fun and discovering a medium in which you feel at home. This journey allows us to reconnect with the childlike wonder inside us. It is not only a technical and artistic exploration but also a profound inward journey.

I was really nervous starting an art class as I’ve never been able to draw even the simplest of things. I can’t believe that I can draw! (certainly not the best but ..) Heather is a great and patient tutor and Ruth is very encouraging. I’ll certainly be going back for the autum term.
