About Kew Studio
Who we are: Set up in 1980, the Studio was founded by artists in this beautiful old Victorian school building, to encourage people to become more aware of the visual arts and to become involved in the creative process.
An Educational Mission
As a registered educational charity, Kew Studio welcomes aspiring and established artists at all levels of experience, offering helpful reception and a range of workshops, classes and individual tuition. We also had an outreach programme ‘Building Community through Arts’ and you can access resources for running projects in the Explore Creativity section of this site.
Some members base themselves at the Studio, while others make regular or occasional visits. A strong nucleus of Resident Artists provides a stimulating and supportive atmosphere from which all can benefit.
Becoming a member is a key part of accessing Kew Studio facilities and taking part in classes. Find out more here.

Please note: Our class numbers are kept small, typically 6 students or fewer, so that tuition can be more personally tailored to individual student needs.
