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

Art Classes at Artfulness are run by gallery owner and professional artist Amie Antoniak. They are held in the cafe area of Artfulness which forms a relaxed and sociable area to allow people to be creative. The classes are great fun, with an empahasis on experimentation and expression, rather than accuracy, scale or perspective, all of which most people find very boring. Here at Artfulness, people are encouraged to use techniques and materials that they probably haven't had the opportunity to try before. There is no right or wrong, anything goes. Participants gain inspiration from each other and the art that surrounds them on the walls of the gallery. Art classes have so far proved extremely popular, with 100% positive feedback given from past students.
