Northlight Art School Evening Courses
Summer Term 2026
We will be offering a 9 week Summer Term 2026 starting Monday 20th April and ending Friday 26th June with a half-term week Monday 25th to Friday 29th May.
Our courses roll over term by term and we expect a lot of returning students. However, please contact us via email or phone if you are interested in joining any course as there may well be space and if not we have waiting lists. See also the weekly daytime classes page.
We also run a series of Weekend Workshops and Summer Schools, both of which are bookable on this website.
Course fee payments: If you are booked onto a class starting in April you will get an email at the very end of March advising about payment, which should be done using BACS transfer if possible asap.
As a self funding not for profit organisation we try to keep course fees as low as possible whilst still affording the cost of building overheads, materials and reasonable wages.
