Art classes are now open at artists studios close to the centre of Greenwich. If you have ever wanted to develop your painting and drawing skills, this is your chance.
Classes are small, relaxed and friendly, (up to four students), so every level is catered for in a completely supportive environment.
Beginners are particularly welcome.
You will be working in a lovely studio at the top of a converted Edwardian propellor factory overlooking Canary Wharf. Parking outside the studios is freely available.
You will receive extensive, personal tuition from a full-time professional artist who has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, and your art will develop in leaps and bounds.

What makes us unique? You will have the opportunity to work in a professional artist’s studio - the traditional “atelier” system - with maximum personal attention.
Classes never number more than four students, and take place at the following times:
Saturday 11.00 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. £50, including lunch*
Sunday 11.00 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. £50, including lunch*

One-to-one personal tuition can be arranged for £45 an hour, for a minimum period of 2 hours
Equipment and materials are initially provided free both for day and evening classes, although you are encouraged to bring a sketchpad and over time acquire your own materials.
The tuition takes place in purpose-designed artists' studios, and all students - including absolute beginners - are treated as professional artists who are developing their own route and vision in the world of contemporary art. A range of materials are provided for students to try out at the beginning of the course. These are lovely studios that provide an exciting environment, located at the top of Edwardian lofts overlooking Canary Wharf. They are easily accessible by bus and the Underground, with ample free parking directly outside the studios.

Biography
Nick Malone was born in Warrington and read Sociology at Sheffield before gaining an MA with Distinction in Modern Literature from Queen Mary College, London. For a time he pursued an academic career, becoming Principal Lecturer in Humanities at the University of Luton, but interrupted his career to take a degree in Fine Art at the University of Hertfordshire from 1987-1992, later gaining an MA in Fine Art from Central St Martins in 2006. In 1994-5 he was Visiting Professor in Modern Literature at the Aristotle University of Salonika, Greece, and in 1995-6 Visiting Professor in Contemporary Literature at the University of Wisconsin. In 1997 he left academic life to become a full-time artist, and has subsequently exhibited extensively, both in London and internationally; his work is represented in a number of collections, including the British Council Greece, BUPA, WestLB, Granville Holdings, GlaxoSmithKline and One Aldwych.
Nick Malone has also produced books which combine poetry, prose and drawings into adventures with real narrative. His first book, The Burial of Crispin Pyke, was published with an introduction from William Empson by The Workshop Press. He is currently developing artwork for Jason Smith's Nocturnal Opera, part of which won a prize in the National Poetry Competition, and which will be published in September 2007 by The Cinnamon Press. Using writing as well as painting, sometimes together, sometimes separately, he applies different perspectives over time to several recurring concerns, using constant cross-reference between artforms - the painting draws on material from both earlier and recent writing, incorporating this into visual constructions which in turn feed new developments in the writing.
