Amie Antoniak, original contemporary art affordable art for sale at Artfulness Gallery York contemporary art gallery of modern art

Art Classes at Artfulness were run on a regular basis by Amie Antoniak when Artfulness was a gallery and cafe. They were held in the cafe area which formed a relaxed and sociable area. allowing people to be creative. The classes were great fun, with an emphasis on experimentation and expression, rather than accuracy, scale or perspective, all of which most people find very boring. People were encouraged to use techniques and materials that they probably hadn't had the opportunity to try before. There was no right or wrong, anything went. Participants gained inspiration from each other and the art that surrounded them on the walls of the gallery.

Because Art classes at Artfulness were so popular, with 100% positive feedback given from past students, Amie hopes to set up more Artfulness art classes in the future, perhaps renting a suitable space in a community centre for the classes to take place in, so that local people can continue to enjoy them. Please keep an eye out on this website for more information on art classes. Please have a look at the photos from past workshops and examples of the kind of work achieved and if you're interested in joining a future art class, please contact Amie at info@artfulness.co.uk
