Rhythm Kitchen

Whether it's painting or pottery Rhythm Kitchen in Walthamstow is a great shout for tasty art sessions. Their events start with a mouthwatering afternoon tea featuring saltfish fritters, rum cake and refreshing cocktails, before you dive into creating your very own masterpiece while guided by experts - all for £60 per person.

The Exhibit

Headed up by professional artist Dan Whiteson, this life drawing session at Balham's Exhibit is one of the best evening art classes in London. Expect great music, tipples aplenty and an informal approach that'll help you step out of your comfort zone and create something totally unique.

Neon Naked Life Drawing

Steering away from classic practices, Neon Naked Life Drawing Classes in London are exactly what it says on the tin. You'll experiment with texture, light and colour, trying out a range of different techniques, to draw your living models who are covered in fluorescent UV lights.

Party n Paint

Heading to some of London's favourite haunts, Party n Paint combines the two for one helluva night out. While you put brush to paper, a DJ will be thumping out bangers, which you can enjoy alongside plenty of vodka shots. And if you're lucky, you may even be able to bag some cracking prizes.

RSA House Events

Fancy learning a new skill while sipping a drink or two? Sip & Sew lets you get creative in your fave boozer across town with all the materials you need to stitch your way to a beautiful embroidery masterpiece.
