‘This is my 3rd course doing art and it is the highlight of my week. It gives me a purpose to get out and meet my friends that I’ve made within the group. I have learnt so many new techniques and it has given me confidence in my art and a big personal boost of my confidence too .These classes are a great asset to Clacton!’ – ACL Learner Nicola Nicholls
‘I have attended these art classes in Clacton for several years. Classes with Martina Weatherly have been a joy. She gives me so much inspiration and help. The classes are so friendly, and it is so important for these to continue. Not only do you learn so much, but you also meet likeminded people in a very comfortable setting’– ACL Learner Gillian Hooker
‘I’ve been doing art since 2006, and I decided to come here 14 years ago. Martina is a brilliant teacher. She has taught me lots of observational and measuring skills like standing back and keep looking at the picture. She also inspired me to watch art programmes and go to art workshops. I have learnt a lot from this class, and it has grown my confidence, and I believe I have done very well with it’ – ACL Learner Phillip King
More Than Just Art
These classes are more than a place to learn art techniques — they’re a space for self-expression, friendship, and personal development. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting out, ACL’s classes offer a supportive environment where creativity flourishes for you.
