Art studio

Found this art club when I needed to get back into the swing of art making. Penny my art teacher is a fountain of knowledge and has helped me gain skills I otherwise couldn't have achieved alone. I attend a class on Monday evenings 7-9pm, which is a great pick-me-up after work! (Tea and biscuits provided- always a bonus!!) :)

We are absolutely in love with Jo’s art. Her work captures perfectly the magic of the nature. Waking up to my favourite bit of the woods painted in my most liked colours sets the morning mood just right.Jo pays a great attention to her models when it comes to portraits. She likes to know more about owners and their pets before starting work and it shows in her care to details and end effect of her portraits is breath taking.Jo is very professional. Great contact during work and very clear on details. I’m sure our house still have walls getting ready for more of her amazing art!

I am a professional artist selling my oil paintings through Carnes Fine Art. I obviously have considerable experience of the industry and have over a period of two decades dealt with numerous galleries throughout the UK. The proprietor Brad Carnes is a real pleasure to do business with, very knowledgeable and most importantly has been consummately professional in his dealings with me. The gallery is very well presented, offers a diverse range contemporary and classical works at both affordable and higher end prices. Well worth a visit, you will see “fine art” in the true sense of the term.

Very cute gallery! I went here to look at an exhibition, had cakes and tea! Very modern look about it and disabled access as well as a beautiful river-side garden! 5/5

Great teacher, great value, great experience. Coming back for the improvers course.

I have been at Gorst studios for almost 2 years now, and I have nothing but good things to say. Great space, friendly and helpful community. Carlos, the manager is great, always ready to help and answer any questions or needs. Such a good place to run your business!

Jazmine was absolutely amazing! I'm normally very awkward with new people and she made me feel very comfortable, constantly checked if I was okay during my tattoos. Would 100% recommend, and will be visiting again!

Inner Art is a beautifully serene place where my daughter is able to express herself creatively . She’s encouraged to try new things and expand her knowledge & interests, and is able to express her ideas and have an input into topics they work on in the classes. The Crafternoons are the highlight of the week & she’s produced such beautiful work . Jo is a wonderful approachable tutor who clearly understands her young artists & brings out the best in them.

I've known Emma and Steven of Top Floor Gallery for a while and they are two of the most talented people I know. Emma's work is so original that I truly cannot wait to see what she comes up with next. Her work is full of energy, creativity and extreme care for the environment. Top Floor Gallery managed by Emma and Steven is certainly an inspirational place for any visitors and exhibitors.

Had my first visit to Bank Quays the other day and absolutely loved the whole atmosphere and vibe of it. The moment you enter, it radiates with positive energy, with it's beautiful hall decorated with the artists work, plants and loads of natural light. It's a fantastic space for both artists and photographers. Highly recommended!
