Ali Walsingham &
The Oxford Society of Botanical Art

Tuesday Art Class

Have you ever considered learning to draw or paint, and are lacking confidence to join in with a group of strangers?   If so, a small friendly group with a warm welcome, in a quiet village hall may suit you well.  

Do you have mobility issues, or health issues that would make travelling to courses or pre-booking courses difficult?   Northmoor village hall is fully accessible, and I will do my best to make you feel comfortable and at ease.   There is no commitment to attend every week, just let me know via our Whatsapp group when you are able to attend. 

2025 dates:  

October:  21st, 28th

November:  4th, 11th, 25th

December:  only the 9th

2026 dates:

REVIEWS:  

Nicky: "I attended Ali’s pen and ink class this weekend.  It was so enjoyable. This was a completely new activity for me. Ali’s teaching style is very clear and informative as well as being caring and supportive.  I would thoroughly recommend her courses"

Juliet:  “An inspiring and relaxing day, thank you Ali! Your guidance made learning pen and ink such a joy. I’m already looking forward to the next class!!” 

Julie: "As a complete beginner, I really enjoyed the Saturday pen and ink illustration course at Northmoor Village Hall. Your tips and tricks were instructive and your guidance helpful and encouraging. Everyone was keen to learn or improve and there was a great range of different, interesting natural objects to draw, including butterflies, fossils, apples, shells, leaves, feathers and more. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed with pens, pencil, paper and other necessary items all provided. I now feel equipped and inspired to finish my kite-feather drawing at home! Definitely understand why people book onto your longer 2 or 4 day courses, or a weekly session, so they can see their work progress under the experienced guidance of a knowledgeable, engaging tutor.  Thank you again!"
