Learn a new skill or explore your creativity with our programme of short courses, evening classes and art classes at Bath School of Art and Design.
Immerse yourself in creativity. Our art classes are a great way to build skills and try new things while you work or study. Held at our art and design campus in central Bath, our short courses are open to the public as well as Bath Spa students and staff.
"The teachers were committed, organised, dynamic, and prepared to meet the students halfway, or more so. They did this without making it easy, and emphasising the personal challenge."
