Our Story
Escape2Art have been providing adult and kids' art classes and events in Surrey since 2016. With a unique focus on flexibility and an understanding of time and financial pressures it has been our mission to provide art classes on a termly, as well as pay-as-you-go and materials included basis.
Classes are run from a family home which accentuates the cosy friendly vibe and helps achieve our wonderful relaxed reputation. Classes are deliberately small to generate a nurturing 'no pressure' feel so that everyone feels comfortable to join in.
Owner Joanna Spragg an established artist in Farnham, shares her love for the subject with customers and tutors alike and helps everyone develop confidence and skills through the termly programmes. Based around a large stock of artist grade materials and rotating seasonal topics we teach across most painting, sketching and drawing mediums and have a wonderful array of topics so there really is something for everyone.
