The Lessons Guide

See exactly how lessons work, from your first session to an ongoing practice.

Group Lessons

Collaborative studio learning

Learn alongside a small cohort of fellow artists in a shared creative space. The rigor is the same as private lessons: structured sessions, consistent feedback, goal-setting. The energy is collaborative.

Why Learn in a Group?

  • Peer inspiration: Watch how others approach problems; get fresh perspectives on your work
  • Creative community: Build friendships and mutual support with fellow students
  • Shared discovery: Learn together; celebrate each other's breakthroughs
  • Same teaching quality: Structured sessions, instructor feedback, ongoing support. Nothing is left out.

Group Details

Small cohorts ensure everyone receives personalized attention and feedback. Groups meet at fixed times; all levels welcome.

Art Workshops

Creative workshops for businesses & institutions

We cannot find all the answers in the rational, logical, and scientific alone. Art-making quiets the analytical mind and reconnects us to intuitive wisdom: surfacing tacit knowledge, rebuilding trust, and opening new ways of seeing problems.

For Businesses

A team-building experience unlike any other

Your team will draw, paint, write, and make together. The creative process builds trust, unlocks lateral thinking, and leaves people energised. A real encounter with art.

For Universities & Business Schools

Art as a course unlike anything else in the curriculum

Students discover a creative practice they didn't know they had. A session that offers relief from analytical pressure, and an opening into a different kind of intelligence. Available as enrichment, wellbeing programming, or standalone course content.

Sessions run 2–4 hours for single encounters or as a series of 3–6 over weeks or months. Available in-person at T.'s Barcelona studio or online. Every workshop is designed for the specific group and moment; get in touch to talk through what yours could look like.

What students say

I enjoyed visualizing what type of landscape I wanted to paint first... T. showed a lot of interest in understanding what I wanted to do. Their suggestions when I was stuck were very helpful.

Questions?

I've never painted before. Can I join?

Yes. All levels are welcome. Whether you're brand new, returning after years, or rebuilding a practice, we start where you are. No experience required.

What do I need to bring?

Wear comfortable clothes (you might get a bit of paint on them!). Materials are provided; we'll discuss your specific supplies after your first session and create a personalised list if you want to invest in your own.

Are materials provided?

Yes, materials are provided for your first lesson. After we meet, we'll create a personalised supply list tailored to what you're working on. Many students bring their own materials once they know what they prefer.

How long is a typical session?

Private and group lessons are typically 2-3 hours. This includes technique discussion, demonstration, your practice time, and closing feedback.

How much do lessons cost?

Private lessons are €50/hour, available in-studio or online. Payment is required prior to each lesson. If you'd like to commit to a series, a bundle of 6 sessions is available for €250, saving €50.

Can I book a single session, or is it a commitment?

One-off sessions are welcome. Students who commit to ongoing lessons see much faster progress because of the consistent feedback and cumulative learning.

Do you offer online lessons?

Yes. Private lessons are available both in-person (Barcelona studio) and online via video. Group lessons are in-person only. Online works well: we can share screens for demonstrations, and you get the same structured feedback.

What languages do you teach in?

Native English fluency. Working proficiency in Spanish. If you speak another language, let's talk; we can likely find a way. The studio is LGBTQ+ friendly and welcomes all backgrounds.
