Hello everyone! Jenny here, I'm excited to share a little about the place where my creative heart truly resides: The Colour Factory Studios in the charming city of Winchester. It's more than just a workspace; it's a thriving community of artists and makers, and it's where I spend most of my time, working on creative projects and sharing my passion for art. If you've been searching for inspiring art classes in Winchester or a welcoming art studio near you, you've found the right place!
Unleash Your Creativity with Our Art Classes
For over three incredible decades – can you believe it's been that long? – The Colour Factory has been a cornerstone of Winchester's creative landscape. It all began in 1994, shortly after graduating from Winchester School of Art, as a small, paint-filled shop brimming with potential. Today, it's a vibrant and welcoming studio tucked away in a delightful old Edwardian park keeper’s house, right next to the peaceful River Park in the historic heart of Winchester – a city steeped in history as the ancient capital of England. For those keen to explore their artistic side, we offer a fantastic range of art courses in Winchester to suit all levels.
