St. Ives School of Painting

At some point, all artists will find themselves stuck in a creative rut. Whether it’s down to a lack of motivation or frustration at how much progress you’re making, there is one fail safe way to start creating again: an inspirational art course.

We’ve teamed up with the prestigious St Ives School of Painting to offer 12 online courses to 12 lucky readers of Artists & Illustrators. Based in the stunning location of the historic Porthmeor Studios, overlooking the ocean at St Ives, the school was opened by two young officers in 1938. They decided that if they survived the horrors of war, they would one day live and paint in St Ives. The school was an instant success.

Attracting students from all over, the school occupied a creative and imaginative space and continues to do so to this day. Nearly 85 years later, brushmarks by famous artists from the St Ives School still occupy the studio walls and it continues to occupy a unique position in the thriving arts scene of St Ives.

With the school’s varied and exciting course programme now also available online, you can capture a bit of St Ives’ magic without the need to travel: the School’s online webinars are broadcast live from Porthmeor Studios. Alongside an ever-expanding programme of live webinars, these Zoom courses are the closest thing to attending an in-person studio course. Benefitting from small group sizes, expert tuition and the chance to get to know your fellow students and build camaraderie wherever you are in the world, you can also continue to share your work and be part of an online community after the course finishes in the school’s thriving Online Alumni Group.
